A late WEBS count - rather fewer ducks than expected but must be the highest count of coot for the site in recent years with 13 and 19 reported a few days earlier. Less than 30 of any duck species although as normal I bet there were more teal in the vegetation.
476 Lapwing in a nearby field with another c.500 at Winterton Farm near Marloes. Also on the famr fields near the Mere 370 Canada Geese - the field is starting to look like a bowling green and the farmer is getting a bit frustrated!!!!!
A femal Peregrine took a Jackdaw from underneath near the Mere and then got chased towards Gteholm by another pair which then doubled back towards Musselwick and resumed hunting
over the fields in typical high and low bird strategy. really fast and spectaular to watch.
There has been another Hen Harrier, not the wing tagged bird, around the Mere in recent days (per Andy Davies)
