Marloes and around

At Marloes Mere this morning, a Water Rail calling about 50 yards to the left of the hide, 5 male Shoveler flying with one female and the Little Grebes are building a nest just visible under the sallows to the far left of the hide. Plenty of hirundines including a lot of Sand Martins. Pair of Tufted Ducks in the pool by the other hide. 8 Wheatears in the ploughed field (not moved since DA's sighting yesterday!). Some churring from the sedges - not sure if it was a Reed or Sedge Warbler. Still no Stonechats.

At the Gann a couple of Whimbrel and at last a singing Whitethroat.
