A visit to the Teifi pools today was especially rewarding in that a pair of Curlew were seen displaying over the rough pastures to the east of Ffair Rhos. They have been absent from this traditional nesting area for the last couple of years. Higher up, the usual number of Meadow Pippits but Wheatear were in short supply - only saw three. Perhaps they have not yet arrived in the uplands or have decided to stay down near the coast where numbers appear to be good this year. On Llyn Egnant a pair of Common Sandpipers. The odd Red Kite and a couple of Ravens otherwise the hills were very quiet - perhaps they were all watching the telly!
A brief stop at Trawscoed Bridge for a survey of the Ystwyth produced a lone Grey Wagtail and a single Dipper.
