I have felt the lure of the mountains this week and after a quick appetiser of the Scouse Alps from Penycloddiau on Tuesday, it was on to the main course today – a slog up Carnedd Dafydd.
With time about to be called on the upland breeding season birds were few and far between at both locations.
Perhaps the highlight was a lone female Peregrine bombing around the summit today – a very welcome site after the slim pickings on the ascent that amounted to a couple of Wheatears and a couple of Mipits.
The Clwydians were similarly quiet, although it was heartening to see a good numbers of Stonechats after the pummelling they received during the last two winters.
A yaffling Green Woodpecker was good too, although I couldn’t locate the bird on the deck.
Until later.
