Nant yr Arian to the Dyfi

 Had a great day's birding with Mark Norris. Two male Greenfinchs on Nant Yr Arian feeders with another calling in the distance. There were literally dozens of Siskin also present. A single female Tufted Duck was the only sighting of note on Llyn Blaenmelindwr. Later we had a real treat along with male and female Greenfinch on Ynys-hir feeders, a male Brambling. Also a Marsh Tit calling from the top of a tree in the car park.

This afternoon the Dyfi estuary didn't disappoint with highlights being Knot(10), Great White Egret(2), Gadwall(2m,1f) a Great Crested Grebe and  pair of Red-breasted merganser. The trip ended with two male Common Scoter off Ynys-las brick house. Top day!
