Highs and Lows

With most of our prep for Christmas done, today we took time off to tour the north side of Milford haven.

Low of the day was the discovery of a housing development on the south bank of Castle Pill - always a good site for winter waders though little of note today. At Gelliswick Bay an adult winter Med Gull, then on to the upper reaches of Sandy Haven Pill to search for Spotted Redshank. No luck there: we are of the impression they are fast becoming a winter rarity in Pembs, any thoughts?

With all the talk of Cattle Egrets we thought it time to add one to our UK list!! then we moved on to Monk Haven for 2 Chiffchaff - one greenish, one greyish.

Finally, a stop off above Goultrop Roads where we found 4 Red-throated Divers in close contact with 2 Brents, 1 pale 1 dark. By "close contact" we mean, a sub surface dagger attack up the rear by a diver on a goose, which puts the phase " being goosed" in perfect perspective!
