A brown bird appeared on the nyjer feeder this afternoon, my first thought was that it was a reed bunting, although I thought that would be odd as I've never seen them do that. It was also too big for a lesser redpoll. I got the scope on it and realised it was a twite! Several attempts to photograph it failed as every time the shutter opened it turned its head away. It was only there a few minutes and then jumped in to a hawthorn bush and I still couldn't get a perfect 'side-on' shot of her before she left (no pink rump - so assuming it was a she) - so frustrating!! I've left the goldfinch on the photo for size comparison.
Later on Cors Caron, dipper on the Teifi and 2 barn owls hunting in daylight - Ystrad Meurig end
