Hoody goody

A morning at Llanrhystud with Marc this morning was looking pretty uneventful until a cracking Hooded Crow, the first Ceredigion record since 2000, appeared on the fence along the cliff edge just to the south of the lime kilns. County tick, marvellous. Made up for dipping the Ynyslas Twite. Its local counterparts however, were less than impressed and the Hoody was last seen being chased towards Llanon by a mob of angry Carrions Crows.

Other highlights include 25 White Wags on the ploughed field just to the south of Llanon and the 2 Great Grey Shrikes still at Cross Inn.

Marc later had a singing Wood Warbler at Llanerchaeron.
