10 Club members enjoyed a trip to Cwm Claisfer near Llangynidr, and an afternoon visit to Llangorse Lake. The walk back up the long drag from the lower part of Cwm Claisfer was marred by persistent rain but we soon dried off. The Cwm is not as good as it used to be but we had nice views of a male Common Redstart and brief views of a female. Tree Pipits were active in the open areas but sadly no Pied Flys or Wood Warblers were seen. A couple of lucky folk saw 2 Cuckoos on the open moor and whilst having our snacks up by the moor, an unexpected visitor was a Little Ringed Plover that dropped in to feed on the grass in front of us, plus a male Wheatear. At Llangorse the resident Barnacle Geese were very vocal. A Common Sandpiper was seen and a Reed Warbler collecting nest material gave good photo opportunities [see sightings post 15th May]. A cuppa and a cake at the cafe were most welcome! 48 species were seen – full list on the trip lists page.
