After checking into my B&B the Clock tower in Marloes i ventured out to Marloes Mere which is a site of Special Scientific Interest in Pembrokeshire. I parked my car and walked the path past the Youth Hostel towards the costal path. The path runs along side the marsh area of Marloes Mere. The water didn't really hold any birds apart from a few Coot and Mallards. The surrounding hedgerows held Sedge Warblers, Reed Warblers and Whitethroats. There was also a Stonechat Family on a Barb Wire fancy as well as a Wren carrying food.
Leaving Marloes Mere i arrived on the Costal Path were i hoped to see Chough. It wasn't long before i saw a pair of Wheatear. The male was catching insects from a nearby Post, to far away to photograph. A Kestrel and a Buzzard were around the cliffs. There was plenty of Linnets and Meadow pipits feeding in the grasses.
I heard them before i saw them, a pair of Chough drifted along the cliff edge before disappearing out of view. I managed a few blurred shots but now i knew they were in the area i would continue to walk the cliff top path. There was also a few Raverns in the area.
I took some time out to practise flight shots of the Passing Herring, Lesser and Greater Black-backed Gull. The sun was out and was creating a lovely light on the birds as they drifted past. It wasn't long before the Choughs flew past again this time i managed a few decent shots. Job Done. Just before i made the walk back to the car i caught site of a Gannet just off the cliffs.
