Moel-y-Golfa is one of the three Breidden Hills, the wooded one you pass on the A458 between Welshpool and Middletown. It's also my local patch. Brilliant on a cloudless spring morning like today. Between 0700 and 0900 I saw or heard six species of warblers, (2 new Lesser Whitethroat territories were good news), 5 Redstarts, 3 Tree Pipits, 3 Pied Flycatchers and 1 Spotted Fly too. Plus Mistle Thrush, Treecreeper, Great Spot and Green Woodpeckers, and a Fallow Deer. It's usually good for raptors too - but not that early in the morning! However, birders are never totally happy - a few years back we lost our Cuckoos and Wood Warblers.
Clare heard a Cuckoo on Middletown Hill on 4 May while I was in Lesvos.
