Cadle Heath is not far away, but it wouldn't be part of the same ecosystem.

I also had a pair of Spotted Flycatchers in my local woodland this morning. Delighted to see them so close to home.

Dipped on it this morning, but early evening seems to be a good time for it, so I may try again tomorrow evening.

So glad you managed to get a photo of it Adam. My brother and I saw it on Tuesday morning, posted on Carms rare birds. It was in the main river chanel, but the river was running so swiftly I didn't manage a photo for a record shot.

Poor thing. Have you ever seen it come out of the water? I wonder what happens if it tries to walk on land.

I remember Mike as he was in the 1979 photo when I was studying zoology in Lonodon and spent a couple of amazing weeks on Skomer as a voluntary warden. A wonderful experience.

Thanks Barry. Glad others have now seen it as well. Castell Ddu is a good birding locality.
