Dale update

I too saw the Bewick's & 5 Whoopers late afternoon in the same spot (4 of the Whoopers in one pic, poor effort of the Bewick's in the other - they were distant and it was windy!). At the Gann the Common Dolphin was a sorry sight, a rescuer walked it out into the bay (as far as he could) but it just swam straight back to the shore. It was clearly emaciated. When I left to check the gull roost, it was still alive and in the shallows with it's would-be rescuer, with the RSPCA on the way, most likely to put the poor thing out of its misery. More news later at Pembrokeshire Wildlife. At Dale an unsually high number of Lesser Black-backed Gulls, perhaps 2,000, nearly all adults. Also a handful of Herring Gulls, a lovely 1stW Yellow-legged Gull (on the rocks opposite Black Rock) and 100 or so Black-headed Gulls. Highlights at the Gann included 2 Barwits, 7+ Grey Plover, 60 Wigeon, 18 Little Grebe, 5 Goldeneye, several Ringed Plover, c.20 Dunlin, & 2 Greenshank.
