blackbirds, blue tits and blackcaps


I too was out early to avoid the dogs and campers at Llanina and complete another tetrad for SN45.
Loads of the above birds but not a single willow warbler and only one garden warb, plenty of chiffchaffs so I wondered if the WW's move inland leaving the lowland to the CC's? Here at Cors Caron WW outnumber CC every time.
I was a bit distracted by finding a verge of orchids in a narrow lane rather at the mercy of some over-enthusiastic road sweeping machine.
Back home my pied fly in the camera box is on a go-slow; she hasn't laid an egg yet.
