A side foray up the Cyneiniog valley provided Tree Pipits in abundance, a fine male Whinchat on the wire and a second Cuckoo calling. A single House Martin over the garden at lunchtime was my first of the year.

Penrhyncoch to Bontgoch
My daily exercise this morning was a bike ride up the Stewi valley to Bontgoch, which produced several Wood Warblers in addition to the Redstarts and Pied Flycatchers that had arrived 2 weeks ago, a Cuckoo, and Stock Doves calling in 3 locations. Also new were 3-4 Garden Warblers, a male Wheatear and 2 White Wagtails along the road, plus a Grasshopper Warbler reeling in a damp field in the valley bottom below Troedrhiwseiri. Lots of beautiful spring birdsong.
