Return to Cymisfael steam

On Thursday 3rd February, a Walk along the Cymisfael stream was initially quiet, until a fantastic Dipper flew past by Pen-y-banc bridge, it banked up briefly and flew left along the stream. A rattling Mistle Thrush flew over the overhead trees and left too. By Whitehall bridge area, it was apparent that several, up to 5, small flocks of c30 Redwings were about, as was a circling Red Kite over the fields in the skies to the left. A lot of hedges and some trees had been taken out, of the fields to the left of the bridges. Walking back, the Dipper was seen by Pen-y-banc bridge again briefly and a Grey Wagtail seen along the northern 'path' of the stream and 2 pairs of Grey Wagtails seen further along too. More Redwings seen including 1 Redwing perched near the top of a hedge. A Goldcrest heard and then seen briefly too. By the other western bridge, a Red Kite seen circling over the tall trees, too.
