Went for a long walk today up Cwm Pysgotwr, Cwm Doethie, across to the beautiful chapel at Soar y Mynydd and down through Dalarwen, an area of forestry above Llyn Brianne.There were many highlights along the way inc.
Cuckoo in Cwm Pysgotwr.
5 male Yellowhammers in Cwm Doethie and 5 male Whinchats here too.
5 more Whinchats around and below Soar y Mynydd with 3 male Reed Buntings seen in this area.
A pair of Spotted Flycatchers in the grove of trees at the chapel and just downstream from here were 2 female Goosanders(possibly those from Pont Gogoyan a couple of days ago).
I'd not walked through the forestry at Dalarwen before but it proved to be very productive with 5 singing Pied Flycatchers,8 singing Wood Warblers and a pair of Crossbills.
