Godwits on Castle Pond

Godwits have been spotted this week on the Castle Pond - a single bird on Tuesday, 3 on Wednesday and on Thursday there were 8. Reported seeing a singe bird last May but have never seen so many here - they are rare visitors on Castle Pond although numerous on the Upper Pond. Perhaps this is due to the pond level being exceptionally low exposing quite a lot of mud?

2 good photos of Otter at Carew Castle in June

Greetings everyone - this Blogg from Carew Castle is really worth a quick look
carewcastle.wordpress.com ........ it probably needs www. beforehand

Despite several reports of sightings of a large and a smaller Otter on Pembroke Millpond over the last few weeks I have personally failed to see one, and so seeing these bits of film was delightful. A prize for the first person to photograph or film a Pembroke Otter!

Good hunting, Nikki
