06/04/2024 at Canal above The Rectory, Llangattock

Re possible Wryneck at Ffywyddog - funnily enough I was walking on canal above Llangattock a couple Saturdays ago when heard what sounded a bit like a distant little grebe from the field below the canal and by the lane that leads to the Rectory - Wryneck was one of the possibilities that crossed my mind at the time, then I instantly forgot about it until I saw the other report today

13/04/2024 at Privat garden in the Ffawyddog area above Llangatt...

Without being 100% sure, there's a possibility we may have heard a wryneck making repeated calls in some old trees in a friend's garden last Saturday afternoon. If you're in that area, please keep ears and eyes open.

10/04/2024 at Llangorse Lake

An Arctic Tern was feeding off Llangasty and a drake Ring-necked Duck was on the flooded sailing club meadows with 5 Pochard (2m3f), see photos in the gallery. The drake spent much of its time very close to the reedbed out of view. Please don't approach closer than the wall as the wildfowl there will only flush or retreat to the willows & reeds. A Reed Warbler was singing by the wall. Still 4 Goldeneye, 10 Wigeon, 51+ Teal, 17+ Tufted, 15 Gadwall, 3 Greylag and 5 singing Cetti's. Five Coot nests have been washed out by the increased lake levels, and the crannog island is under water again forcing all 41 Barnacle Geese back on to the Acorn field where sadly most of their rings are so muddy at the moment they couldn't be read.

Excellent views of 2 Peregrines overhead. One spectacular stoop and several passes. In the same half hour 4 Red Kites, 2 Buzzards and a Sparrowhawk chasing down but missing a Wood Pigeon then being chased off by 4 Goldfinch. Maybe today should be 'the day of the raptor'.
