BLACK REDSTARTS and SHORT-EARED OWLS

While Andy James was watching a female Black Redstart in his back yard in Aberaeron this afternoon, Chris Bird was viewing one on the Old College in Aberystwyth.
George Jones is back in the County for a few days and together we watched a ring-tail Hen Harrier skimming over the Marion Mawr pools at Ynys-hir. Two Goldeneyes were on the nearby Dyfi and later we saw two on Llyn Frongoch at Trisant. Following a gourmet lunch at The Limit Cafe in Borth we went to Ynyslas where we watched a Short-eared Owl and George noticed a second owl close by.
