Spring Migrants at Bosherston Lily Ponds

We spent the morning at Bosherston Lily Ponds. On arrival I was hit by the songs of hundreds of birds. Walking around the ponds I passed a male Blackcap singing proudly from the top of  an ash tree. Towards Stackpole Court I passed 5 Chiffchaffs, all singing their 'chiff-chaff' song. On the water there was a few Coots, including a pair with 4 young! Also, there was a Common Sandpiper flying around the pond calling sharply. Walking out to Broad Haven beach, another Common Sandpiper flew past me. Behind Broad Haven beach there were 10 linnets, 1 male Reed Bunting, another male Blackcap, 3 Chiffchaffs and a pair of Blue Tits carrying nest material.

5 Swallows were flying around the car park as we were leaving.
