We decided to visit the Nevern Estuary this afternoon for Lisa to see the 3 Tundra Bean Geese, and they were duly present and correct above the bridge. Also nice to see the Spoonbill further downstream below the bridge, mostly snoozing. Totally unexpected was a fine drake American Wigeon amongst the flock of Eurasian Wigeon opposite the white house, which eventually relocated down to the Parrog and showed well adjacent to the Yacht Club late afternoon (thanks to David Ord for the flight shot showing the white axilliaries).
Earlier we did a sweep of St Bride's Bay, highlights were 7 Purple Sandpipers roosting in their usual spot on Emmet Rock at Broad Haven at high tide. Just over 250 Common Scoter were between Druidston and Maidenhall, just south of Newgale. Just singles of Red-throated and Great Northern Divers. (Dave & Lisa)
