After an uneventful early a/m BBS on farmland under Llandefalle Hill (single Cuckoo and Garden Warbler), 9-10 am was the purple hour. Trebarried Fm - over the noise of A470 traffic failed with Lapwing but had single singing Lesser Whitethroat (my first for 3-4 yrs), 3+ Skylarks, 2 male Whitethroats in song and a pair of Yellow Wagtails all in arable margins. Pair of Curlew revealed their preferred nesting field for following-up/protection at a later date. 5 terrs/pairs Yellowhammer and 3 more Whitethroat territories all by slow & safe driving with windows open along the lanes.
