Noticed quite a change in the soundscape at Goodwick Moor since I was last there 12 days ago (when highlights were a first swallow and a chiffchaff). This morning I estimated 9 x sedge warblers, 2 x Cetti's, 1 x grasshopper, 1 x blackcap, and about 6 x willow warblers amongst the various singers. A chiffchaff was seen feeding on the edge of the reeds but none heard singing this time. A song thrush near the car park was singing its head off just as it was (presuming the same one, same perch anyway) last time.
Couple of late records: grasshopper warbler singing at Newport golf course last Sunday (21st) and a whitethroat there on Wednesday 17th.
As a postscript, a pure white bird flashed past my windscreen between Blaenwaen and Meidrim on Tuesday morning - only thing that came straight into my head was 'a swallow'. I know Ian Bullock saw a white one over Ramsey a few years ago. Anyway, just in case someone else sees similar...
