Last fine day before the on-coming cold snap tomorrow. Blaencaerau is always about two weeks behind the lower end of the valley in spring temperature wise, so I only had 6 species of hoverfly today and in much reduced numbers. The only bonus was my first of the year in Cheilosia albipila.
Other insects were hard to come by with nothing new. On the bird front summer migrants included 3 Chiffchaff and 2 Willow Warbler, of the resident birds there were 2 male Lesser Redpoll displaying and very vocal.
