Yesterday,I managed to survey some tetrads between Talgarreg and Pontsian. Approaching the area where I saw a Merlin in December I came across 180 Common Gulls and a couple of Great Black-backs too. In the field opposite was quite a large winter flock of 50 Linnets. Dipper was on the river in Pontsian again and over the hills looking towards Cwrtnewydd,60 Golden Plovers. Needless to say, enough Starlings to give the BTO computer apoplexy when I entered them on the database.
Approx. 40 Siskins on or around the massed feeders at Ysgol y Dderi in Llangybi all week.
