Arfon Williams was out and about today, firstly at Cors Caron where he saw a male Hen Harrier, 3 Little Egrets and a Water Pipit.
Later, at Llyn Pencarreg, the wrong side of the border near Lampeter, he found a female Ring-necked Duck. This is quite possibly the one that Chris Bird first saw, earlier this winter up at Llyn Blaenmelindwr, to the north of Ponterwyd. It then moved to Llyn Rhosrhydd at Trisant and when that lake froze over it moved to Cwmrheidol dam lake. That froze over and Chris is sure he saw it, with Tufted Ducks on the sea just off Aberystwyth harbour, three weeks or so ago.
According to Chris, the male Black Redstart was again on the Old College at Aberystwyth today.
