Bittern from Pontrhdyfendigaid

A bittern was mentioned to me a few weeks ago near Coed Dolgoed but the bird has been spotted again twice very recently flying between Pontrhydfendigaid and Ffair Rhos, just behind the school towards Teifi Pools, going left of the 'trig' point overlooking the village. The most recent sighting was Monday approx 9.30am.

This morning 50 redwing behind my house and the mistle thrush is sitting on 2 or 3 chicks, nearly a week old. Also heard a snipe late on in Coed Dolgoed last night. I saw the house martin again Thurs evening, it must be hanging around the village somewhere as I only see it briefly.
