Today I carried out a late winter tetrad for the Bird Atlas 2007-11. It was square 'SN78 A' for anyone familiar with the Bird Atlas. This covers some of the Nant yr Arian and Cwmbrwyno area. Here are the species seen during the 2 hour survey; Great spotted Woodpecker, Robin, Great Tit, Carrion Crow, Buzzard, Coal Tit, Wren, Blue Tit, Blackbird, Wood Pigeon, Bullfinch, Red Kite (of course, including a leucistic bird), Dunnock, Grey Heron, Common Gull, Nuthatch, Fieldfare, Mistle Thrush, Raven, Song Thrush, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Herring Gull, Jackdaw, Tufted Duck, Goosander, Mallard, Goldcrest, Long-tailed Tit and Meadow Pipit. So, quite a nice selection, shame I missed some of the regulars though!
