Twite at Nant-yr-Arian

We stopped at Nant-yr-Arian at about 2:20 this afternoon on our way back home from Rhyadar. From the deck outside the restaurant I scanned the ground below the large feeder hoping there might be a Brambling or two. No Brambling, but I was thrilled to discover a Twite amongst the Chaffinches, Greenfinches and Siskins there. Two male Goosanders were competing for the attention of The Lady (Goosander) of The Lake. According to Joe there were not quite as many Red Kites as usual at feeding time.
