Marloes Mere today

3 Glossies close to the barbed wire gate early this morning (c7:30). Unable to locate them this afternoon - they don`t seem to like windy conditions. The highlight was a female Merlin chasing a Skylark, with much aerobatics from both birds before the Skylark dived for cover in some gorse & managed to escape. Also 1 Whimbrel over, calling. Swallows aplenty, along with Chiffs.
