A mild start to November with clear skies a little mist over the marsh and birds singing and butterflies flying, what is going on...
A perfect morning and despite a late start ( not on site until 8am) I came across a flock of well over 1000 Starlings preening and bathing along the track to the hut, luckily? I didn't have a net set there!!
The tides are lower now as the moon wanes but there were still a few waders on the marsh, with REDSHANK and a small flock of OYSTERCATCHERS in flying into the creeks.
A STONECHAT and small groups of Tits flew off towards Burry Port.
When the Starlings got agitated I could see the female/juvenile MERLIN in the flock but with no success it flew towards the beach a few seconds later a cloud of over 1000 KNOT took to the air coincidence?? I doubt it.
SKYLARKS seemed to be on the move this morning but hard to be certain that they weren't just local birds moving off to feed.
A COMMA butterfly showed well, as did a singing DUNNOCK
