The glorious weather this morning brought out at least three drumming great spotted woodpeckers around Staylittle and Allt y Crib woods. Small scatterings of winter thrushes everywhere. On a very sunny slope between Henllys Farm and Allt y Crib was a large flock of feeding starlings. Perhaps over a hundred birds and with them were over thirty lapwing, several mistle thrush and a few fieldfare.
