Yes there is a very pale Buzzard around Bont Rhydtir south of Bow Street. I noticed one also today in one of our fields close by. There have been a number around for the last few years but today's was undoubtedly one of the palest I have seen.
Well done Kev on achieving 'photo of the week' on Bird Guides this week for a cracking pic of a 'Skating Mandarin' on the Llandod Lake.
Yesterday after spending some time photographing the Ibis -- or Borth Pterodactyl when seen in flight -- a quick visit to Ynyslas/ Leri produced a large number of Teal, Wigeon, Curlew together with a couple of Shelduck and Pintail and a hunting Kestrel but no Bittern or Short Eared Owl. Has anyone seen the Shorties recently? My last sighting was on 28th Jan.
