Pendam & Blaenmelindwr

We went up to Pendam and Blaenmelindwr beween 9pm and 10pm last night but didn’t hear or see any Nightjars. We heard Cuckoo, and all other usual woodland birds and saw a kestrel and a Buzzard. And lots of midgies!

Around Ystumtuen, there are several pairs of Wheatears, 2 Cuckoos, breeding Buzzards for the last 3 years at least, Red Kite, Kestrel, many Willow Warblers, Blackcaps, Chiffchaffs, Great Spotted Woodpeckers, and we have been hearing a Green Woodpecker. Plus Siskin, Goldfinch, many Chaffinch, Greenfinch and a fledged group of Pied Wagtails. Yellowhammers have been singing as have Skylark and Meadow Pipit.
