Sunday;-
Newport, 1 Gt.Ctd. Grebe on the river by the Boat Club early am.
Saturday;-
Ty-Rhyg, the G.G.Shrike next to the the road early pm. As more often than not the Gt.Spot. Woodpecker(m) in attendance, soaking wet, on the nearest stump.
Many birders have commented on the 'pecker when watching the shrike, has the pair developed a favourable feeding arrangement? I haven't seen this behaviour before, or heard of it, any thoughts??
Paddy in his Kestrel work has met the Land manager for 3 of the Preseli plantations, he has said that he has seen the shrike in Pantmaenog. Worth a look for a second shrike? a least 5 in Wales for the past 2 weeks, inc. 2 in 1 forest.!

Pwllcrochan Bay, 1 Greenshank, 1 Gt.Ctd. Grebe, & 2 ad. Gannets, 1 on the water, unusual this far up the river in mid. March? (Paddy J. & Richard D.)
