A Green
Woodpecker in my garden 6 and 7 June. Rare/irregular this far down the
valley.
A Common
Kestrel hovering over field next to the school hockey field in Aberaeron and
then over my garden, late afternoon 15 June. Presumably the same bird (a male)
seen perching in my Silver Birches 16 June and then swooping to catch
woodmouse/vole/possibly shrew but prey seemed larger. Then flew with its prey
towards Social Services building (as was) and then disappeared, presumably to
feed its young. Seen again in birch tree this evening. Only my second garden
sighting - first 7/1997, a recently fledged bird.

I was passing through Aberaeron last Tuesday, 13th June, and had a brief view of a falcon which I'm pretty sure was a Kestrel. I thought at the time that it was a very unusual sighting.
