Tregaron birds

 Had a good couple of days inland from Tregaron to Gwenffrwyd Dinas. Star of the show was a male yellowhammer in full breeding plumage singing very obligingly next to car near Llyn Brianne. Anyway, back to Ceredigion..

On the mountain road yesterday from from Tregaron to Soar y Mynydd were the usual meadow pipits, stonechats and skylarks plus 4 whinchats, 2 males and a pair. There was a cuckoo in the plantation just south east of Soar y Mynydd and a mistle thrush was singing by the chapel. A pair of Common sandpipers were on the Camddwr.
