Driving along the Trecastle to Llandeusant road a Great Grey Shrike was observed perched at the top of a young conifer in the clearfelled area at the edge of the forestry near the turnoff for the Usk Reseervoir. It was in clear view for several minutes before flying off towards Glasfynydd forestry. While visiting a friend in Trecastle 19/02/10 the remains of a Firecrest were found in their driveway on the Eastern edge of the village. Not much of it was left but the head was in reasonable condition and the bright orange cap and the distinct eyestripesof black and white were evident along with some flight feathers.

Entry added by: Andrew King on Tue 9th March 10, 09:29pm Sighting location: Llangorse Lake - western fields. Sighting date: 09/03/10
The cold northerlies are keeping the lid on any bird movements - at Ty Mawr, Llangasty tonight there was nothing new. Apart from Raven on eggs and 10 Curlew flying about, it still feels and looks like January. No Mipits, Wagtails, Wheatears or Martins yet. Also failed to hear Cettis tonight, but did have 1-2 singing/trilling last week.

Entry added by: Mick Colquhoun on Tue 9th March 10, 06:19pm Sighting location: Grwyne Fawr. (SO246294) Sighting date: 09/03/10
There were six dippers between the bungalow at 246294 and the Grwyne Fawr reservoir dam today. Most were ringed and from the photos i took I could see RR01 on one ring. Doubt this is sufficient to be much use though.
