Early start for a walk up Moel Famau from Cilcain. Highlight was my first singing male Redstart of spring and three male Red Grouse - quite a scarce bird on the Clwydian Hills.

A (sadly) rare sighting this morning - two Lapwing chicks just about fledged. Small patch of suitable habitat near Cilcain with a fab muddy pool. Great job by this tenacious pair! @birdsinwales.bsky.social @rspbcymru.bsky.social @btocymru.bsky.social #birdingWales

A couple of male Bramblings today, plus a female still, visiting the garden in Cilcain - very shy though! Also ten Blackbirds and a Sparrowhawk. Lots of snow still lying. #birdingWales @birdsinwales.bsky.social

A very welcome visitor to the garden next door yesterday afternoon - a Juvenile Tawny Owl. Cilcain.
The local Blackbirds were not at all happy though and eventually it was moved-on by a couple of Magpies.

The Garth Gold Mine in Cilcain was thought to be the richest goldfield in Wales upon its discovery in 1889! This map held at North East Wales Archives shows the area that brough wealth and fortune to the Welsh economy, and where many thought X marked the spot!
