Buzzards field feeding. I have seen the odd buzzard in a field hunting for worms, but this afternoon I counted 7 (seven) in a single field between the canal and Llanfrynach

Marvelled as wave after wave after wave of large starling flocks arrived at the lake to roost in their thousands just west of the sailing club amongst the reed beds. Great views from the public slipway between 4 and 5pm with the setting sun behind, and a cacophony of sound from the roost. Most flocks came from the NE and all dropped down very quickly in to the reeds on this cold night though some good aerial displays! Brilliant

At dusk today a Song Thrush was singing loud and clear above the roar of the Weir. Yesterday I heard subsong from a Blackbird as if whistling quietly to himself. (At Talgarth Town Hall tomorrow a guided walk around Pwll-y-Wrach starts at 2.00, followed by the BWT AGM at 4.00. Refreshments and mulled wine too, members and non-members welcome)
