Plenty of Lapwing scattered about over Castlemartin Corse this morning - over 900 in all. Also 130 Golden Plover, 48 Curlew and on the flooded areas 44 Wigeon and 12 Mallard. Above Freshwater West a Merlin sat on a fence post near the road for a fine view from the car whilst on the rocks by the beach there were two Grey Plover.
In a field by the top road to Angle there were a further 20 or so Lapwing and 200+ Skylarks.
Kilpaison was again bearing the brunt of the cold wind but with the tide receding there were decent numbers of waders - 18 Bar-tailed Godwit, 250 Dunlin, 5 Knot, 2 Redshank, 8 Curlew. Also 6 Brents and a load of Wigeon.
At Carew a pair of Peregrines soared over the Castle and back home in St Florence a fine male Sparrowhawk flew low along a hedge flushing out some Starlings and the Goldfinches in the garden were a nice splash of colour. Rich C & Morris North.
