The Webs survey of Llyn Brianne drew a blank but on the eastern (Brecs) side of the reservoir there were the following: 50 Mistle Thrush and 500 Meadow Pipits on Trawsnant: in the conifer forest between Carreg Clochdu and Fannog, a mixed finch flock of 30 Linnet, 20 Lesser Redpoll and 30 Goldfinch. 10 Siskin separately. 1 Blackcap was also present and seemed a bit out of place.
