Today at Stackpole/Bosherston

Pochard have become decidedly rare at Bosherston Lakes in recent winters. Long gone are the days of 250-300 peak winter numbers. So it was quite nice to see a splendid male on the eastern arm (presumably stopping off on migration).

A male green woodpecker spent the entire morning/early afternoon yaffling nr Broadhaven. It was over here late last week. Possibly it has moved territory or perhaps it also is a new arrival trying to find a mate (where do they go in winter?)

Of the new migrants, at least 7 white wagtails on the coast, overhead yellow wags (at least 3) and at least 35 whimbrel passing through.

With the continuing strong easterly, almost certain to be something interesting about in the next day or two.
