More young Dippers!

Snap! Also a brood of newly fledged Dippers in Cwmystwyth today - well upstream of the old mines, where the river is encouragingly full of invertebrates. Also a couple of pairs of Grey Wagtails complaining about our presence; presumably with active nests. Along tree-lined stretches of the Ystwyth other species included Redpoll, Siskins, Redstart, Blackcap and Garden Warbler. Kites following the ridgetops above our heads.
Time to get filling in those BTO Roving Records! http://www.bto.org/volunteer-surveys/birdatlas
