I checked out the pre-roost gathering of Pied Wagtails noted by Chris Brewer a few evenings back and in one sweep I counted 191 on the ground. Birds coming and going all the time heading off to roost toward Pentre Farm Marsh and an estimate of 250+ is probably more representative of the total. 2 Yellow Wagtails were also present feeding up until 19:15hrs when the bulk of the birds headed off to roost.

Earlier the Marsh Harrier was seen at Penclawdd, Penclacwydd & Llanrhidian (it gets about!), it came close enough at one point to read the wing tags, so hopefully details to follow…
