Tetrad J, near Stag's Head

Not easy to make a circuit in this tetrad as I discovered in November. This time better equipped with wellies, pruning secateurs and billhook I managed to slosh and slash my way round on public footpaths before eventually emerging back in to civilisation(the B4342). Marsh Tit, Willow Tit, Woodcock and Kestrel were among the birds seen. In fact, if it wasn't for a 10 minute delay cutting through a blackthorn thicket I'd never have seen the Marsh Tit at all possibly. Re. the carcass at Ynys Las. If I remember rightly, a body was discovered in the dunes in last weeks episode of Hinterland. It woz the bruva wot dun it.
