Bosherston Lakes & Carew River

Today at Bosherston lakes still 16 goosanders present (only 3 adult males today) but most other waterfowl still only in low numbers. Firecrests heading to roost down the eastern arm late this afternoon numbered at least 6 with blue tits, LT tits, goldcrests,and a couple of prob abietinus chiffchaffs.

A Black Redstart is still present at Home Farm (Stackpole) - possibly the same individual seen there more than a week ago.

Yesterday around 225 wigeon on Carew River at New Shipping roost, plus small numbers of grey plovers (14) c. 200 dunlin but just 35 curlew. Nice views of 12 black-tailed godwits roosting with the curlews. Shelduck numbers increasing again - c. 125 seen. Plenty of fieldfares around south Pembs now since Friday.
