Tree Pipit on Foel Fawr

Just back from a 5 hour walk around, up and down Foel Fawr. 
Early on, at about 11:30 at the foot of the Foel near the wall beside Ysgubor y Coed, I saw a Pied Flycatcher.  There were Chiffchaff, Willow Warblers and Blackcaps singing all along the wall.
There were 6 Buzzards in the sky at once, one of them a handsome, very well marked individual.
Highlight of the day was my first Tree Pipit of the year, seen whilst having lunch on the Foel.
Nearly forgot, I also saw my first female Blackcap of the year.
