Back to the stream

This afternoon I was doing my duty as a son and taking my mother out for a change of scene. We ended up by the river at Llandulas.

We've been there many times but today the place was alive with birds. A couple of Grey Wagtails are resident, as are the Wrens. Summer visitors were represented by a couple of Willow Warblers, flycatching over the water, and a lovely female Pied Flycatcher, again sampling the insect life. If that wasn't enough, a Common Sandpiper patrolled the water's edge. The field the other side of the trees was full of Swallows.

It's amazing what you can find if you sit still for half-an-hour, in the rain!
