Denmark Farm Dawn Walk

Actually 7am which is quite early enough on a Sunday even for a postman. Some old(ish) and new faces came along and I hope had an enjoyable walk. Most noticeable thing were the Pied Flycatchers, maybe 10-15, which are attracted by the excellent provision of boxes. Other birds inc. Treecreeper, Blackcaps and a single Tree Pipit. No Garden Warblers yet. A Curlew calling in the little valley just NW of the site was a surprise to me. Some folks also saw a Willow Tit but I was already getting stuck in to a bacon buttie by then. If anyone sees the Woodchat Shrike today could they kindly ask it, when reorientating itself southwards again, could it please go via Llangybi. I shall be in the garden for the remainder of the afternnoon playing with Tomos.
