Caerfai - Porthlysgi

As earlier post from Wdigbirder - similar numbers of white/pied wagtails (at least 25) in ploughed field above Porthclais together with a dozen linnets. The adjacent pasture had good numbers of pipit and 6 wheatear. All seemed to be making the most of a big hatch of black gnats. A few other wheatear scattered along the stretch. At least 6 males and 2 female Stonechats. One hovering kestrel near Porthlysgi. Willow warbler and chiffchaff singing both side of Porthclais. Yellowhammer singing along Alun Valley. One male adder near St Nons. Gannets plunge diving out from Caerfai.
