Marloes

A Ring-tailed Hen Harrier quartering the Marsh at Marloes Mere early this afternoon putting in several appearances over an hour or so. Also Sparrowhawk, Merlin and Buzzard. Small parties of Starlings were flying in from the east and formed up into a flock of several hundred which on several occasions went into spectacular defensive balls, presumably due to the various raptors around. 25 Lapwings also in the area.
