Morning stroll

 A two hour walk through part of Long Wood and then down the lane from Llanfair Clydogau village. Seven species of finch were present which was great to see. I haven't been seeing too many Swallows and there were almost one or two less; great views of a Hobby hunting them in the fields by the river, near the chapel.

Mark included a set of excellent photos with his report.   As I'm hating problems with my laptop I am unable to post them just now.

If any of the other blog authors is able to add the photos I would be very grateful  

Please let me know and I will pass on Marc's email to you.
