31/05/2024 at Glasfynydd forest, south

Despite a doubling of suitable habitat due to clear felling only a single Nightjar churred at SN8625. Started at 21:36 and fairly regular until at least 22:00. Nothing heard there on a previous visit in the first half of May. Good populations of Song Thrush and many Willow Warbler on both visits. At least 2-3 Meadow Pipits displaying in the forestry brash (too late in the day for Tree Pipit song)

9.45pm - 10.30pm, 3x night jar seen on hillside behind the southern hide on Talybont reservoir. Viewing from the road, there's a clearing with views up the hill a short distance south of the hide layby. Couple of brief sightings right by the road, including 2 chasing eachother. Not much churring which is unusual. Also 1 more churring heard whilst heading home about half up the reservoir.

Barnacle Goose P25 which is paired with an unringed bird was fiercly defending 3 young goslings on the crannog island as they tried to make their way accross the Island through B01's territory. A pair of Canada Goose on the Acorn field had four goslings, 3 yellow and 1 grey, it did cross my mind that they may have adopted a Barnacle gosling?? On the sailing club meadows 2 Ringed Plover, 1 Little Ringed Plover, 2 Curlew, 2 Oystercatcher (including the right leg metal ringed bird) one of which was making repeat journeys to the crannog island. Two family groups of Mute Swan with 3 cygnets at Llangasty and 6 at the crannog.

1 Wood Warbler, 4 Pied Flycatcher, c. 7 Redstart, 4 Whinchat, 2 Cuckoo, 2 Kestrel. Patch of Welsh Poppy near the entrance, could possibly be native at that location (botanical detour!), also frequent Mossy Saxifrage in the screes at the top edge of the valley. Great views.. Could probably have seen the Osprey nest from up there!
