Great Grey Shrike - Hafren
At 3pm, In the same area as last year where the Afon Biga meets Clywedog Reservoir. This time a bit further down the road towards fishing club, approx 400m from T junction on trees near the picnic/parking area opposite the farm building.
Phil - Bird was near Parking/Picnic at SN 870 892 today. Last year it showed a lot in clear fell to the West of the road between this point and the T junction just to the North.
There's a bit of pot luck here Brian - it's where I photo'd the bird in January. It has a large area of clearfell in the area Chris mentions but also heads up to another patch around and above Cwmbiga farm so it's a tricky bird to get close to. been there for a number of winters tho now so it's worth a shot. Best thing to do is to head down the hill from the T junction (towards Llyn Clywedog), at the bottom of the hill there's a rough parking area to the right that allows you to scan the whole area of clearfell - where Chis saw the bird is 50 yards or so further on.
Nice one - been up there a few times looking for it!
ReplyDeleteI have no Idea where this is could someone post a grid refrence please
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling you were going to get this one Chris.
ReplyDeleteI was going up today, oh well, Ring Ouzel up the Elan Valley, not to bad.
