A
grasshopper warbler was reeling away, close to a rank, swampy field in the valley behind Pwllgwaelod early this morning. Willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap, chaffinch, song thrush, robin, wren, woodpigeon, tawny owl, also singing. Closer to Cwm-Yr-Eglwys there was one bird with an unusual
hybrid willow warbler / chiffchaff song - I think it was probably a willow warbler, as a fairly typical ww phrase was sandwiched between a few chiffchaff notes at either end.
