Stonechat, 2 distant flying Ring Ouzels, Peregrine, and flyover Redpoll. A Cuckoo called in the distance.
Near Libanus, a Red Kite drifted very close to us, in lovely sunlight.
On the way back, we found 2 Common Sandpipers at Llwyn Onn, and close up Siskins.
Having dipped Dippers there, we drove to Llanbradach and found 1 there instead.
Machen was the next stop, where excellent close views of the Sand Martin colony were obtained, 2 more Dippers were there.
Much of Rudry Common has been burnt, so we couldn't find Whitethroat there, a Tree Pipit was over the road, though, and Linnets seemed untroubled by the devastation.
