Yesterday Carolyn had 2 tree pipits in her valley(Cwm Ere) which the walk group visited last month . I heard and saw both tree pipit and whinchat in the Upper Doethie valley this afternoon though higher up on my BBS there were only meadow pips and not many of them.
The whole of the river Doethie in Ceredigion has been fenced by the Rivers' Trust which has not enhanced its landscape value but perhaps there may be wildlife benefits.
