10'C with a cold NW breeze

 Been waiting for warmer weather before heading out on to the hills again but have now given up! Impossible for me to say how much the weather conditions affect birds' inclination to vocalise or my ability to hear them anyway but the numbers that I noted were generally much reduced compared to last year (in brackets).

Cwm Berwyn; Stonechat 6 (6), Whinchat 2 (9), Wheatear 3 (8), Cuckoo 1 (0). Also seen; Reed Bunting, Whitethroat, Garden Warbler, Sparrowhawk, Grey Wagtail.

Camddwr; Stonechat 4 (8), Whinchat 4 (8), Reed Bunting 4 (12). Also heard; Grasshopper/Wood and Sedge Warbler.
