Doethie Fawr

 Fantastic as ever. No Yellowhammer this year but I did see a female Goosander very high up towards the source. Other birds (males); Whinchat 13, Stonechat 5, Grey Wagtail 2, Reed Bunting 6, Cuckoo 1, Tree Pipit 4, Pied Flycatcher1. Spoke to the very nice warden at Ty Cornel hostel who was just setting off by bicycle to Lampeter to stock up on emergency rations of pot noodles. It's challenging enough driving by car. The track that leads over to Soar y Mynydd is shut once again due to erosion. In places the furrows gouged out by winter rain were 6 feet deep. Will attempt the section below the confluence of Doethie Fawr/Fach soon I hope, all being well.
