On a ride up into the hills from Llandilo on a perfect day we recorded nesting House Martins at Ty Mawr (so close to home but they are only occasional flyovers at home). 2 adult Great Spotted Woodpeckers, singing Whitethroat, Reed Bunting, Grasshopper Warbler, Stonechat and Skylark, juvenile Mistle and Song Thrushes and Pied Wagtails and song flighting Meadow Pipits all along the edge of Coed Glyn Aeron. Also here was a singing Greenfinch which was a treat. Then across to Pantmaenog where several flyover Lesser Redpolls and Siskins were heard and juv Coal Tits in the trees. No Redstarts along the quarry track (used to be a cert in bird race days), Moorhen heard on the pond in Rosebush caravan park, 4 Swifts in Maenclochog village then back to our stable where our Great Tits have just fledged.
