Had a strange sighting yesterday afternoon: a Cockatiel flying around and calling, high over the IBERS (IGER) campus near Penrhyn-coch! It seemed quite distressed/lost, so perhaps a recent escapee...
Also Spotted flycatcher in the woodland - will check if they're breeding.
I notice from the Pembs blog that they're very short of owl breeding season records for the BTO Atlas - so have checked the Ceredigion pages, and was surprised to see that SN68 is the only grid square in our county so far with confirmed breeding for Tawny Owl! Now is a good time to listen/look out for young Tawnies sitting around squeaking after dusk (our local ones are very noisy), so if anyone comes across them, how about adding some "roving records"? See www.bto.org/birdatlas to get to sign-in page.
The page http://blx1.bto.org/atlas-results/alloccard.html has the local results for selected species in Ceredigion/Cardiganshire. Some of the other breeding records published on the blog recently may also be valuable.
