We are beginning to get a build up of Woodpigeons around the village
feeding in the cereal fields and especially on the Beech trees which are laden
with mast, numbers along the Llanddewi to Llanio road run into hundreds.
This
morning they were mixed with the large number of corvids that roam the village
and difficult to count while driving, but this afternoon while looking over the
area from Pant pond I counted 428 as they settled on the trees but they were
being joined by others all the time so I gave up. I was watching from pant from
1400 -1430. There was also 1 adult coot with 2 well grown young on the pond.
