Ynys-hir

I had a stroll around part of Ynys-hir this afternoon. I'm sure the weather forecast for today was all misery and gloom but I got warm sunshine........
Anyway, I didn't see many birds but whilst I was in Marian Mawr hide a pair of Swallows were visiting and feeding chicks every half minute. I wonder if it's their second or maybe even third brood?? On my way back from the hide - where the only birds I saw of interest were 2 Goosander and 1 Little Grebe - I wandered into a little hot-spot where I saw 2 Chaffinch, 2 Gold Finch, 2 Tree Creepers, Chiff Chaff, 2 or 3 Willow Warbler, 2 or 3 Great Tits, 4 or 5 Blue Tits, 3 Long-tailed Tits and a single male Redstart all within a couple of minutes.
