An exciting start to the morning when I heard a cuckoo from
my front door - it seemed to be coming from Alltlwyd woods and is the first one
I’ve heard here.
Then down to the lime kilns where I saw my first whitethroat
of the year. Also there were willow warbler, blackcap, chiffchaff, goldfinch
and long-tailed tits. 2 sand martins were flying around the cliff nesting site,
and a male and female wheatear sitting nearby on the fence posts.
Returned home to find a blue tit taking nest material (looked
like the cat fur I put outside yesterday!) into the nest box we recently put up
on the side of the new wood shed.
