Sunday 14th August A ringtail Hen Harrier quartering on Plynlimon today appeared to be a juvenile rather than a female - going on the immaculate condition of wings and tail.
Friday 12th
Aberaeron- another new 'From the Garden' bird - a Peregrine heading very
purposefully NW towards the coast.
A Goshawk seen
soaring on a few days this past week over Aberaeron.
The Goldfinch
flock feeding on Knapweed and other seed plants in the field has reduced from a
high of 60/70 a few weeks ago to 15/20 this past week. We normally get large
flocks in September but never as early as late July - have the seasons advanced
slightly? (purely anecdotal evidence obviously).
