Waundwrgi Farm today.

Waundwrgi Farm is an area of 98 acres. It has been our "patch" for the past five years. Of note today..... Willow Warblers appear to have moved into areas where they have previously been absent. A minimum of 5 Garden Warblers were singing. Tit species seem to have an extended breeding season this year. A check of the nest boxes show that while laying is still in progress in some boxes, broods are being fed in others. This has not been the case in other years.(The Willow Tits are feeding their young, the first time we have observed this, anywhere). Song Thrush territories are on the increase; we counted 5 today.

Note: During 5 years of collecting records for the 2003 - 2007 Pembs Atlas we found no evidence of breeding Song Thrush west of St Davids. Yesterday we observed one in the Bocca Valley, and close to Pencarnan there are a breeding pair.
