No Brambling.

Managed to get out for a short while today. I tried the Manoa Valley early morning 1030 hrs and found it a lot quieter than usual. I did record a Dipper, Wren and Grey Wagtail along with the usual Gulls and Crows.
At 1400hrs I went to Menabilly Barton in the hope of seeing a Brambling unfortunately after setting up the scope the flocks all landed in the far fields or out of sight somewhere and all i saw was the odd straggler or two. Buzzard, Song Thrush, Redwing,Chaffinch and Goldfinch were recorded plus the Mistle Thrush at the Ship Inn at 1500hrs.
Par Beach Pool was quiet and all I saw was three Tufted Ducks, Little Grebe plus the usual lot. Once again I saw a large dog charge into the Swans and Geese (Golden Labrador)but it was reprimanded by its owner after coming back out of the water.
The Beach yielded up nothing of note except two Cormorants in the Bay.
