Sprinkle Pill

I spent an hour this evening birding at Sprinkle Pill. On our way we stopped in Haverfordwest to drop my brother off in the skate park. Just as we were leaving for the pill a Kingfisher flew down the river. At the pill 4 Bar-Tailed Godwit sleeping on the mud were a nice surprise. Gulls were in good supply with 15+ Black-headed, 10 Lesser Black, 4 Great Black and a smart adult Yellow-Legged Gull. It took me a while but I feel a Herring X Lesser Black hybrid has been ruled out, but comments are still welcome on this bird. 4 Spotted Flycatchers were in a Oak tree by the river and a flock of 100+ Linnets were feeding on weed seeds alongside the footpath. Other birds included, 3 Whimbrel, 5 Curlew, 2 Redshank, a Great Crested Grebe, a Little Egret and a juvenile Black-Tailed Godwit.
