Yellow wagtails - Marloes Mere

2 Yellow Wagtails among the cows at Marloes Mere, viewed from Oriole Hide and barb-wire gate, also 15 Pied Wags, 6 Wheatear also on the grassy slope. 2 Black-tailed godwits just in front of Oriole Hide tearing up cow pats and seemingly finding lots to eat! 3 Snipe and Greenshank calling. Female Sparrowhawk being followed by group of Swallows plus a few Sand Martins, which were new. Teal now up to 11. A wander over to the Deer Park was pretty uneventful apart from a Kestrel and a nice chat with Merv.
