More queries
Which is Dan Coed Mawr, Llandysul(where the Green Woodpecker was heard)? There are some lovely looking woodlands in the Teifi valley in this area. Yesterday, approaching from Capel Dewi, I heard Wood Warbler, Pied Flycatcher and Grey Wagtail simply when jumping in and out of my van. I've seen Marsh Tits here previously too and on reflection I also remember seeing a Green Woodpecker about 5 years ago in Llanfihangel ar arth (3m east of Llandysul). Plus the Hobby sightings last year. An interesting area. On another subject; how unusual is it to see a Brimstone butterfly in the county? I've never seen one in Ceredigion but my wife found one trapped in our greenhouse yesterday. The literature I've read suggests they are fairly scarce.
