South Pembs

A coast path run from Broad Haven (S) to Manorbier this morning produced a Black Redstart above Swanlake Bay, and plenty of Skylarks in the coastal stubble, but little else in the stiff south-easterly. After a pint and some food at the St. Govan's Inn, a quick look at the upper part of the Eastern Arm at Bosherston produced 26 Goosander (7 adult males), 2 Gadwall and 2 Wigeon - apart from the Goosander, very poor. No sign of the Cattle Egret at Hubberton, although I did scope a distant Little Egret on Castlemartin Corse from the road to Castlemartin. At Angle Harbour 20 Brents (1 juv dark-bellied, 19 pale-bellied) and at Rhoscrowther 14 Barwits and 4 Great-crested Grebes. A Merlin dashed over the road near Angle.
