Always hard to follow on from such "Great" news from Strumble, but I watched for about 10 minutes a Sooty Shearwater flying steadily out of St Bride's Bay this morning at around 0800. Also 4 Common Scoter flying through Jack Sound. Nothing much else around on the sea, with no tidal race to hold birds.
Martin's Haven:
Wonderful views of male and female immature Peregrines this morning, chasing a gull and Meadow Pipit (both unsuccessful) before returning to their favourite pastime of beating up one of the local buzzards. A Whimbrel over, calling.
Small numbers of a fairly wide selection of birds in the valley: Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Whitethroat, Sedge Warbler, Song Thrush, and lots of young Stonechats and Pied Wagtails.
Lucy at Lockley Lodge reports that the first seal has pupped at the end of the Deer Park.
