My birds today

Ynyslas Point at high tide - a few golden plover on the foreshore as well as some knot, dunlin, ringed plover & singing skylark. Sea-watching was hopeless due to sea-mist.

Cwm Ystwyth - Peregrines very active at usual site. Food pass witnessed on the ground (male to female?) also kite, buzzard & raven present.

Nant-yr-Arian - 50+ kites, little grebe, teal, coot, male goosander, male goldeneye, mallard on the lake.
The TV screen in the restaurant shows an owl nestbox fitted with an infra red 'wireless'? nest cam and it depicts a sitting tawny owl so this should be interesting as time goes on.
