We would be grateful if the 'Abergavenny birder' that located Bearded Tit at Llangasty last week either register the sighting/hearing on this page, or inform the County Recorder (email on Home Page). Thank you.

Always worth a stop in the laybys N of Drovers Arms, Epynt. Today on scanning the grasslands, a dark round head appeared among the pale tussocks at distance. Fortunately I had the 'scope with me - it turned out to be a Short-eared Owl which when it moved its head the strong wind raised its ear tufts. 3 Kestrels and 6 Ravens on the skyline.
