Firstly,thanks for your thoughts and ideas on the House Martins.
Went out last night to listen for Tawny Owls in my BTO tetrads-just heard two near Llangeitho. En route I almost ran over a very animated Polecat at Llwn y Groes. Sitting in a layby at Llanio I was fortuneate enough to hear a Barn Owl calling off in the distance,towards the river.
This morning I popped in briefly to Cors Caron hoping that the water levels had dropped sufficiently to expose some muddy areas. Though they still seemed quite high there was a Spotted Redshank on the river above Pont Einon at the southern end of the reserve.
