Belated post - Stackpole Estate 09 March

Went for a bit of a walk around Stackpole Estate yesterday. No auks on the cliff as I passed though aware that they have been seen on the cliffs at Stackpole Head and at ElegugStacks recently. There were a few Fulmars on strategic ledges along certain sections. Plenty of Jackdaw about. The Skylark were singing and being territorial on the Warren. A Herring Gull took umbrage to a Raven passing along the coastal margin resulting in some impressive aerial aerobatics by the Raven. The lakes were quite quiet other than seeing some Cormorant in full breeding plumage and spotting a female Blackcap in some thick undergrowth. A Grey Heron returned to Herony as I passed, I only clocked two nests by the resulting necks up and noises.
