A spotted flycatcher in a wood near Salem today. Unfortunately the red kite
nest there has failed, some time between my visits on 30th May and 5th June. The
youngster must have been about 3 - 4 weeks old but now the nest is empty and the
adults nowhere to be seen.
Yesterday there were at least three wood warblers singing from conifer
woodland at Penbontrhydybeddau, below Banc-y-darren. I wonder if they are
finding conifers more suitable than broadleaves these days?
