Marloes Peninsula

A couple of hours walk doing a census of the Treehill fields with Sash - which has been very pleaseant with an abundance of Skylark and Meadow Pipits enlivened by two Iceland Gulls - one which appeared to be an adult resting on fields at the western end with a few Herring Gulls and another somewhat yellower bird and which I am pretty certain was a third summer bird with subtle but clear edgings on wing coverts. The second bird was seen by Anna almost exactly the same time at Marloes Mere and was picked up follwoing the grading and seeding tractors in the fields adjacent to the Marloes car park.

On the Mere at least 5 Shoveler and three Little Grebe and a few scattered Teal but we didn't spot any Gadwall.

Kestrel as usual at Martins Haven, Peregrines along the cliff edge, Wheatears scrapping in the stony field near Gateholm, Chough feeding in pairs - pleasant morning.
