Yellow-browed Warbler & Firecrest - Porth Meudwy

Both of these little beauties in the valley today plus a mix of common migrants. Firecrest was a psychedelic male - beautiful bird! Yellow-browed' showed briefly in the willows by the stream in the bottom section of the valley around SH161255.

Wonder what else is in the area?
Good Birding

  1. Hi Andrew,
    Had a wander round a couple spots down the Lleyn today and had the YBW showing very well about half way down to PM just below the 2 ash trees. Thought I heard a Firecrest too. Great to see Eddie U again. Saw a cracking Firecrest at the Porth Oer crossroads on the way back to Aberdaron. Had a probable Richard's Pipit flying west at Porth Colmon. Great feel to it today crests everywhere.
    Cheers
    Rob

    1. Hi Rob

      Good to hear from you. That pipit sounds intriguing - Blyth's maybe? :-p

      The Urbanski Birder had the YBW in Porth Meudwy again today with the Firecrest at the Minafon crossroads again (virtually the only place I did not check yesterday!) with one or two Red Kites over both sites.

      All the best

      Andrew

    2. Theres a stubble field opp the prim school by that crossroads and the hedge was chocca full of finches. Could be worth keeping an eye on. Could do with a helgoland over thr whole of uwchmynydd really. Might grip back on bardsey a bit then!
