A stroll down the Cletwr at lunch time today was very pleasant with two water pipits, a dipper and three adult whooper swans on the Dyfi. This morning at Allt-Y Crib, Talybont a fine female goshawk flew over flushing six crossbills which flew over my garden.
Yesterday, the Lapland bunting was again at Llanon, a goldeneye was at Llyn Eiddwen and the female brambling was at Ynys-hir. Bird highlight for me though last week was a hawfinch which flew over my garden at Talybont on Wednesday 25th October; a rather unexpected garden tick as I was outside the back door having a vape.
