I have been watching an area of set-aside near to Tresinwen all Spring - a site that holds at least two pairs of Groppers and quite a few Sedge Warblers and Whitethroats. Another look on Sunday showed the Groppers to be feeding young in the nest (chicks heard) and the Sedge Warblers to be displaying after completing round one!
I was however shocked to find a Lesser Whitethroat pair actively feeding some very noisy chicks in the nest. Where have they been all Spring? The male has not been singing down here at all. In fact the nearest Lesser was heard singing by the Nant which is at least 500yds away. (They have sneaked in under the radar!)
I was surprised again when I found a male Lesser Redpoll engaging in very energetic display song and display flight along the coast by Porthsychan.
