Great Grey Shrike - 1 seen briefly in hawthorn adjacent to small conifer clump past the cattlegrid at Penrhos. Settled in a Larch only to be mobbed by a Red Kite. looked for the bird again before dusk but no luck. In addition to this a Merlin perched in a mountain ash higher up the road near Ty Segur and a lovely male Wheatear on a nearby fence (my first back up here). Lots of Mipits on the move and 20+ Song Thrush. Not a bad 15 minute 'car birdwatch'!

Reed Bunting - a mini invasion up here lately. A single male on the lawn feeding with chaffinch yesterday was my first garden record in 9 years. In a nearby garden there were 10 more (8 male, 2 female) - the first records there for 4 years.

Thanks to Dominica for confirming my first Brecs Swallows of 2010, a small group seen 100 m downstream of the old bridge across r. Usk at 14:30 today, but too distant to confirm i.d.. Also OOC, 5+ Swallows at Monmouth at 14:00.
