Despite the awful weather forecast I spent a pleasant couple of hours at Cwm
Clettwr today and was very pleased to see summer visitors making themselves
at home. A pair of pied flycatchers were showing a lot of interest in one of
the nest boxes and a separate lone male was singing. I saw and heard two
singing wood warblers - the first I have found this year. Willow warbler,
blackcap and chiffchaff were all singing at different points along my walk. The
local song thrushes have been busy and I saw two recent fledglings perfecting
their flying skills. On the river were grey wagtail and dipper. Also good to
see were two very fresh looking speckled woods and a green veined white.
