EARLY NESTING DIPPERS and the GW TEAL.

On 28th January Jean and I watched a pair of Dippers nest-building near Talybont. Yesterday I watched one of the birds fly to the nest where it remained, presumably to incubate eggs. Its mate remained watchful nearby.
 I stopped for the Green-winged Teal at Caernarfon on my way home this afternoon and managed this distant digi-scoped pic. What a great find at that spot by somebody.
 
Ceredigion is not exactly the land of the Hawfinch but in my absence one appeared in a nearby garden!  See 'Ceredigion Birds' blog for a rather nice photo of a mega rarity for us.
