Pensychnant biodiversity weekend

Pensychnant is a beautiful place on the Sychnant Pass just outside Conwy, excellent for pied flycatchers and redstarts plus other species such as flyover choughs and red kites. It runs many events and training courses, and a few years ago I attended a bryophyte workshop here.

This weekend there was a biodiversity fair which I attended on both days. Lots of stalls and events and things to do, as well as excellent company and tea and cake.

Hoovering bugs.

Checking the catch.

 

The birds didn't let me down, with a pair of redstarts back and forth to a nest hole in the side of a barn and several singing male pied flycatchers, including this bird. Also today a singing male garden warbler next to the car park.
