4 Dotterel
still on top of Plynlimon today, Tues 7th, 12.45. Red Grouse heard from the top,
though not seen. A Dipper on the tiny Maesnant, below the
track to Llyn Llygad Rheidol. Pair of Teal and a Mallard (male) on the small
tarn below the track. Pairs of Canada Geese everywhere. A Tree Pipit and Lesser
Whitethroat on the road to Tal y Bont.
Two "cracking"
Greenland Wheatears early this morning on one of my BBS squares at the top of
Cwm Mabws (rather late??), not far from a pair of Northern Wheatears (next
section but one of the transect).
Had a quick
but abortive look for the Purple Heron with Mick Green but the pain was
alleviated by three Common Sands and a few Whimbrel.
