The Welsh woodlands in June


I was driving back from a job near Abergwesyn today and stopped off at a couple of likely looking oak woodlands in the hope of getting my annual fix of singing Welsh woodland birds. I wasn't disappointed, with wood warbler, pied flycatcher, redstart and spotted flycatchers all putting in an appearance and showing well. Overhead there were at least seven red kites.




Earlier I'd been in a coniferous woodland with plenty of siskin as well as singing tree pipits and willow warblers.





On the way to the job I crossed an area of moorland where the commonest bird seemed to be whinchat, I reckon that I had at least 10 birds in a relatively short stretch.
