Last night we had a walk around Ystumtuen and saw:-
A stunning male Redstart in an area we have never seen them in before.
Buzzard
Wheater including two different sets of juviniles.
Lots of Meadow Pipits
Linnets
Up on Bryn Bras there were male and female Tufted Ducks, Swallows and 2 adult and 6 juvenile Pied Wagtails on the pond.
We also went up to Look for Nightjars and we rewarded at 10.45pm with a lone bird flying close over us and along the road just north of Llyn Blaenmelindwr, slightly beyond the house. We then heard it in flight. It seemed to take an intrest in our 'A4 white paper male Nightjar'! We also heard a very distant flight call from the area in front of the Cow and Calf Standing Stones. But no churring heard at all.
Lots and lots of midgies up there which took no notice of our Skin So Soft!
