Llanrhystud - Llanon - Llanrhystud Thursday


A very warm walk. Not so hot for migrants, however.

A couple of White Wagtails, two Tree Pipits, a Willow Warbler, a first winter Wheatear, a single Common Sandpiper (presumably the same bird that Ian M saw the previous day?). Plus a Stonechat,  Pied Wagtails, 20 Meadow Pipits, five Skylarks, various flocks of Linnets, the largest of which was 85 - all in all about 170, I reckon, slightly more than Ian M's large flock of 150. I also saw his Kingfisher - on the rocks at the lime kiln point.
