12/05/2017 at Coed Carno, Tarrell Valley

Yesterday a walk around Coed Carno gave some good birds the highlight being a Tawny Owl that gave me the eyeball before silently drifting off into the wood (not the same bird as I've posted in the gallery). I've struggled to find Tawny Owl in the Tarrell Valley but this spring I've found birds in 4 different locations. Also around the wood were territories/singing males of 1 Spotted Flycatcher, 5 Pied Flycatcher (1 FF), 10 Willow Warbler, 6 Chiffchaff, 9 Blackcap, 3 Goldcrest, 3 Redstart, 1 Tree Pipit, 2 Nuthatch (both FF), 2 Treecreeper (1 FF) and a calling male Cuckoo. Also feeding young still in the nest were LT Tit, Great Tit, Song Thrush as well as a newly fledged Robin. 25 species seen.

12/05/2017 at Llangorse lake/Talybont Res.

Nice range of waders. At Llangorse Common - 10 Lapwing, singles of Greenshank and Oystercatcher. At Talybont Res, 2 Common Sandpiper, and single Little Ringed and Ringed Plover. I thought there was something odd about the Ringed Plover, and realised its left leg had a metal ring, and the right leg a yellow 'flag' above the knee with what appeared to be 3 letters/numbers but distance beat me, even with the 'scope.

In the Senni Valley some Cuckoos were calling with a bubbling female nearby. Green woodpeckers were calling and we caught glimpse of the Pied Flycatchers. Several Redstarts

06/05/2017 at Sennybridge

The Swifts appear to be really pleased to be be back as a scream was heard at 23:40 as I passed one of the houses in the village that usually holds a pair. Either that or they are confused by the new "floodlight" type street lighting that now dominates the village.

04/05/2017 at Llanwrthwl

The Swifts that nest under the eaves arrived back right on cue yesterday (2.05pm). A couple of birds passed through on the 2nd, but 'my' birds arrive with their screaming calls circling the house - different behaviour. By evening 5 were back and this morning one flew out from the nest site.
