Marloes Mere area

Actually this dates from Tuesday when there were still around 1200 Lapwing around the Mere in groups of 200-400 birds in most visible fields.

On the stubble fields around the Britton hide large finch flocks included c.200 Chaffinch with Goldfinch and Greenfinch mixed amongst them and at least 30 Reed Bunting. In the field nearby over 90 Skylarks and briefly a nice male Hen Harrier hunting along the hedgerow.
