ABERYSTWYTH

   Early this morning a Hobby flew south over the sea and then turned and sped up the Ystwyth valley. 

Nightjar in unusual location

 A belated report from Chris Bird  of a Nightjar in full song on a farm near Llangwyryfon on 24th May.  There is no apparently suitable habitat nearby; just fairly open farmland.

Morning stroll

 A two hour walk through part of Long Wood and then down the lane from Llanfair Clydogau village. Seven species of finch were present which was great to see. I haven't been seeing too many Swallows and there were almost one or two less; great views of a Hobby hunting them in the fields by the river, near the chapel.
