I was interested to see on the blog posts referring to the very two species' that were on my mind when I got back from work a while ago. I seem to stumble across occasional Spotted Flycatchers when I'm not looking. Like today, when I stopped for lunch in the van at a spot under some trees where I don't normally take a break. And there was an adult feeding a young bird on a branch close by. It also seems to me that there are not so many Swifts about this summer. I normally see up to half a dozen zooming about in places like Henllan/Penrhiwllan/Aberbanc but this year hardly a bird at all. I 've been wondering whether anyone else has thought this or have I just not been paying attention.
