Clettwr late pm

A late afternoon walk along the Clettwr produced fine views of the male Hen Harrier hunting across the Lodge Farm fields, spooking the Lapwing flocks, a few Golden plovers, Curlew, Snipe and parties of Teal. The harrier then headed off down-estuary towards the sunset. Several pre-roost flocks of starlings - they seemed to be generally heading east towards Ynyshir.
Three Greenshank on the river, and five Fieldfares roosting in a hawthorn bush.
