Thanks to Paul Irving for this: "Llandinam birds on 4th April included a pair of Little Egrets, our first male Pied Flycatcher back at our boxes, 2-3 Swallows, up to 20 Sand Martins, 1 House Martin, and adult female Peregrine. On 5th April, 3 Little Egrets (birds behaving as a pair plus 1)."
Paul's partner Gabi also reports a probable Crane, on 3rd April at 9 a.m, flying steadily north-east over the Severn Flood plain east of Caersws. She is sure it wasn't a Heron with its neck extended (typical of an alarmed Heron), but we won't make it an official record. Previous county records are of 1 near Pont Llogel on 3 May 1961, and 1 in flight over Pumlumon in June 1983 (Holt & Williams, The Birds of Monrgomeryshire, 2008).
