Weekend birding

Had an afternoon out on Saturday with Jason Burk at Llanrhystud, the Lime Kilns, Llansantffraed and Morfa Farm to Graig Ddu. There was a cold NW wind which didn't help things but managed oystercatcher. curlew, wigeon, redshank, ringed plover, golden plover, lapwing, cormorant, starling, house sparrow, chaffinch, blue tit, robin, BH gull, herring gull, GBB gull, rook, carrion crow, skylark, grey wagtail, raven (carrying a small rabbit), red kite, buzzard and the highlight was a pair of peregrines. 
On Sunday I ventured up to Llyn Eiddwen for mallard, tufted duck, teal, goldeneye 4 female and one male), red kite and a stunning ringtail hen harrier to the western shore of the lake.
