Merlin and Llyn Coed-y-Dinas sightings

 

Many thanks to John Formstone, for this Merlin portrait, taken yesterday at the Tan y Foel Quarry near Cefn Coch. 

In other news, a Cetti's Warbler has been singing its explosive song in front of the hide at Llyn Coed-y-Dinas. Thanks to Luke Reynolds for reporting this on 16 Sep; on 17 Sep we (in the MWT work party) heard it again as we trimmed willows and raked the bank in front of the hide. This morning I flushed a Snipe from its favourite bank, and briefly saw a Kingfisher. I found an old Reed Warbler's nest while removing willows from the reedbed.

    Cetti's Warbler: we believe this is a first record for Llyn Coed-y-Dinas.
