On a kite walk yesterday a pair each of little grebe
and moorhen on a tiny pond just outside Penrhyncoch (OS 651 837), and a stock
dove and a chiffchaff there. Later I watched a potential kite nest site for over
an hour without getting any definite sign of a nest. At one point a kite drifted
over towards it carring a long straggle of sheep's wool. I thought "this is it"
but the bird floated around with it for about 15 minutes before landing in a
field. Its mate joined it there and then both birds flew off, leaving the wool
in the field.
Later another chiffchaff in Penbontrhydybeddau.
