Frainslake and Bluckspool areas

Waders on passage on Frainslake and Bluckspool beaches included 19 Dunlin, 7 sanderling (in summer plumage), 9 curlew, several whimbrel (NB Steve and Anne Coker recorded a flock of 60 whimbrel on Brownslade dunes over the Bank Holiday weekend - this is quite a typical flock size for here in early May); 6 ringed plover (plus a pair breeding on cliff-top near Wind Bay - on eggs), 1 bar-tailed godwit (still in winter plumage).

Elsewhere tree pipit displaying north of Cresswell Quay (first one we've seen here for a couple of years at least); spotted flycs displaying nearby. Stock Doves are possibly breeding at Stackpole this year - first record for at least 10 years.
