Atlas-bashing in Llys-y-fran area in the murk

Finer weather at home tempted me to do a TTV in the Llys-y-Fran area on Sunday afternoon. Having arrived, I had to wait for mist and drizzle to clear first but was able to see at least 2 broods of Gt Crested Grebes on the reservoir (pairs with 1 and 3 young respectively - the noisy near full grown young were still being fed).

I was also rewarded with views of a hobby - a nice surprise! A few evenings ago Annie recorded another quail calling in a tetrad across in nearby SM92 10 km sq. Atlas-bashing in new spots often seems to produce some nice surprises.
