The list of birds seen and heard was: mallard, heron, buzzard,
kite,
swift, great spotted woodpecker, swallow, house martin, pied
wagtail,
grey wagtail, dipper, wren, dunnock, robin, redstart, blackbird,
mistle

Andrew for leading the walk.
In the afternoon I went for a
walk on the coastal path by the Aberaeron
caravan park and saw oystercatcher,
herring gull, starling, rook, house
sparrow, whitethroat, a pair of stonechat
feeding young, and plenty of
linnets. The sunshine brought out lots of
butterflies too- orange tip,
green veined white and
tortoiseshell.
