More about the field trip

Seven of us made it to Lampeter for todays field trip and were rewarded
by good weather and very good birds all singing well.

The list was: spotted flycatcher, blackcap, swallow, great tit, robin,
chaffinch, garden warbler, blackbird, siskin, treecreeper, goldcrest,
buzzard, kite, crow, rook, willow warbler, pied wagtail, chiffchaff,
redpoll, wren, wood warbler, coal tit, raven, dunnock, blue tit, song
thrush, long tailed tit, nuthatch, jackdaw, goldfinch, sparrowhawk, pied
flycatcher, great spotted woodpecker, redstart, and mistle thrush.

We had good views of singing warblers and flycatchers and we are very
grateful to Ian for leading the walk and using his sharp ears to help us
locate the birds.
