Having been dry & sunny for nearly a week in Ceredigion I ventured into
the high remote area between the Hengwm & Hyddgen rivers today on the
ceredigion boundary hoping to spot a Hen Harrier. No Harriers unfortunately, but
I did flush a Red Grouse from a heathery area, the first I have seen on the
Pumlumon Massif.
On the previous day did Aber to Borth along the beach &
on rounding a headland near Cormorants Rock startled a pair of Peregrines busily
plucking what I think was possibly a pigeon in a cove on the beach. The head had
been eaten so it was difficult identifying it. However the No on on the
plastic? leg ring was H 217072 . Does anyone know whether that is a homing
pigeon No. or a tracking No.
