Good Morning everybody.
Just an update on the Trumpeter Finch, well they're back. And we now know they've never gone far away, recent information has indicated they've just dispersed after breading, and are not frequenting the usual breeding sites. There has been sightings up until December of 2022.
And so on 14th March 2023, we observed only 2 birds 1 male, and 1 female we didn't spend too much time at one if the favorite sites, probably less than an hour or so, but they're back!
Other birds seen in the Valley we're Rock Sparrows, Rock Bunting, Blue Rock Thrush, Red-rumped Swallow, House Martin, Crag Martins, Barn swallows.
heard in several areas Spectacled Warblers, and Crested Tit.
Not a big list but well worth the effort.
The mountains were in full glory today nice temperatures and a clear blue sky
Where too next week let's see what happens
?
Cheers Bryan
