Yesterday around Castlemartin etc

Castlemartin Corse - very flooded ay up the valley and loads of finches apparent (but impossible to estimate numbers) around the cows in the second field in from the beach plus around Gupton where c.300 birds all appeared to be Chaffinches.. At least 1200 Lapwing but probably more, and 300 Golden Plover. The Lapwing stretching in groups right up to Castlemartin village. A few Wigeon in the upper areas.

At Castlemartin Ranges - c.600 Golden Plover on the "airfield" and just loads of Redwing scattered around.

In the messy cow field alongside Kilpaison Burrows between Angle and Pembroke - several thousand Starlings and hundered of Chaffinches scattered almost everywhere in the field but no Brambling or indeed any other species seen. Also loads of corvids -worth a look simply becasue its a great sight.

At Plumstone/Dudwell later at least five Buzzards trying to eat Starlings and a Firecrest in the conifers - they appear to be almost everwhere this winter.
