With Dave and Sue Purdon yesterday afternoon to Cors Fochno to watch for harriers. coming in to roost . We tried a different viewpoint - at the furthest end of the circular boardwalk near Ty Mawr - access from NRW's car park. It was actually quite disappointing, only one bird was seen which looked like a dark marsh harrier, which came over from the east, circled in a wide arc towards Borth and then returned inland and disappeared. We were distracted by a large flock of starlings - probably roughly 8000 strong which "murmurated " ( I hate that word ) above an area of the bog east of the railway line and above the River Leri. As a viewpoint for watching the harrier roost it was not great as you tend to be looking into the sunset from there.
