Having read yesterday's blog by Richard Ellis I asked myself: do Lesser Whitethroats favour blackthorn scrub here in coastal Pembs?
For the third consecutive year, here on my Pencarnan patch, a Lesser Whitethroat holds territory in a dense patch of blackthorn behind, and to the left, of Waun Rhosson.
Another patch species that is on course to breed successfully having taken up residence three years ago is Chough. The present low Spring tides enabled me to confirm that "my pair" are in residence in the cave below the campsite.
