As many of you will have seen from the Dyfi Osprey Project blog, there was a Nightingale yesterday at Cors Dyfi! Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRz0kai27dA&feature=youtu.be
In the 1940s Nightingales used to nest on Llanymynech Hill, but they are rarely recorded in Wales these days. The last Montgomeryshire record was of a singing male on Moel-y-Golfa, Middletown, which stayed for two weeks in May 1983. I used to go up into the village on warm nights to listen! Thanks to Jo Porteous of the Cambrian Ornithological Society, who was the first to notice the song on the DOP live streaming; and to Emyr Evans and his team for spreading the word and for the video.
