Grasshopper Warbler - Deer Park

Nice to hear the first Gropper reeling in the gorse at the Deer Park this morning.
Apart from a lot of Linnets and a couple of pairs of Wheatear displaying, it was quiet there.
At other sites around the Dale Peninsula there were good numbers of Chiffchaffs, Willow Warblers and Blackcaps. A lot of ducks have now gone from Marloes Mere but there was a steady passage of Swallows with a few Sand Martins over the mere. There was 1 Greylag Goose with the Canadas.
A Merlin flew over the road near Trehill farm.
The Gann was wader free.
