Spent just over an hour from the lay-bye. Highlights on what was a fairly quiet visit were 2 green sandpiper, 1 common sandpiper, 15 lapwing, 3 mute swans and 5 goosander. The only raptor was a single buzzard. There was a kestrel hunting over Foel fawr during the afternoon.
There are still large numbers of fieldfare on Foel fawr ( eg 200+ this morning), with smaller numbers of redwing. On the edge of the forestry above Furnace were 7 crossbill.
