Cors Caron raptors

 I had an enjoyable walk on Cors Caron this afternoon (Tuesday), from Ystradmeurig down to the hide. First was a hunting barn owl, then a female kestrel. Walking back north, in the fading light I disturbed a flock of 50 fieldfare, and finally, saw a ringtail hen harrier quartering. Other birds of note; a female stonechat, 4 lesser redpoll, and a willow tit with a flock of long tailed.

On Monday I heard a mistle thrush singing near my house in Bont, it stopped me in my tracks. A beautiful sound.
