A trip to Ginst Point this morning gave me a chance to pick up some useful additions to the year list. A walk around Alex's Farmland was rewarded with large numbers of
Lapwing and
Golden Plover. On the rivers edge, there were 30
Curlew, 12
Shelduck and an impressive
44 Shoveler. There was only 1 Teal and no Pintail, no doubt there was more but I couldn't get any closer. On the north-east spit of Ginst Point, there was large numbers of gulls and about
200 Oystercatchers all roosting on the spit. Back by the car, there were good numbers of Lapwings, another 20 Curlew and a flock of 100+
Dunlin.
I found a fantastic female type
*Black Redstart* at Amroth early this afternoon. The bird spent most of its time on the roofs of the shops and houses but was very mobile, doing a circuit of the village. It would disappear for prolonged periods but often returned to the same house where I had some good views.
