I've put my sound recorder out in the garden for a few nights in the last week or so, hoping to record birds flying over. It's in Aberaeron but not near the sea. So far I've had lots of Redwing, probably in their thousands during one night. There have been flocks of Common Scoter, Wigeon, and Teal, as well as lots of Coots, some Moorhens, Little Grebes and Water Rail. Good variety of waders, including Golden Plover, Ringed Plover, Turnstone, Dunlin, Snipe, Curlew and Oystercatcher. Also, Rock Pipits and some yet to be IDed sounds. A nice surprise was a recurring Barn Owl, as I've never seen one round here. Not sure if anyone else in Ceredigion is doing similar at the moment?
