Broughton and Llangennith today

img_7443High tide watch at Broughton yielded a Great Northern Diver and 2 Guillemot, a Great Crested Grebe and 200 Common Gull. A walk through Llangennith Moors produced 11 Oystercatchers in dune slack and 12 Goldfinch plus Skylark, 22 Meadow Pipit and 12 Chaffinch, mainly around a cattle feed area in a field close to the footpath. A Red Kite was soaring over the moors near Llangennith village. We accessed Rhossili beach where Diles Lake spills out on to the beach and the Common Scoter flock was something to behold, very active, quite close in and probably up to 2,000 birds between there and Burry Holms as well as 2 Red-throated Diver. There were probably more Scoter out there as the sun was not allowing us views south towards the cliffs where the Surf Scoters have been reported. Single Curlew and Kestrel were present around Broughton Farm fields as we left the caravan car park site later on.
