Lake Vyrnwy - Centenary Hide

Plenty of activity in the woods and on the small pool in front of the hide.  Pair of Willow Tits (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong), Little Grebe, Dipper, Mallard, Teal, Grey Wagtail, Peregrine, Chiffchaff, GS Woodpecker, Chaffinch, and what looks like a domestic duck.

    Looks good for Willow Tit. Lake Vyrnwy is probably the best place in the county to see them.
