Nature notes

Fri 6th Aberaeron: still some active HM nests, many of this seasons nests have fallen down (hopefully post fledging). Several small groups of Swallow seemingly headed south along the coastline. 20+ HM evening. Sad case of the Razorbill, perhaps bird flu (young couple and Martin).

Still plenty of hirundines mid month; been quite a few butterflies this month especially whites and Red Admirals.

Sun 21st nice sunny day for a change, at least 2 Hornets and several Red Admirals enjoying the apple bonanza (most fruitful season ever here).

Mon 22nd around half dozen Red Admirals about the Apple trees, 2 Comma, Speckled Wood, 3 or 4 Hornets.

Tue 23rd no hirundines seen past couple of days and so they have gone now mostly.

Fri 24th Newquay a few Choughs by the shell fish factory. Also several distant Dolphins and apparently a Grey Seal.

Radar suggested 20mm locally SW Wales although  gauges caught much less (below 5mm).

Sat 16th surprisingly no heatwave materialised for the Midlands due to N Sea cloud persisting most of the day, Marches saw warm sunny spells, while WW was very warm or quite hot and sunny (a heatwave still likely here). Maxima Llanwnnen & Porthmadog 27.4c, Whitchurch 27.0c, PS 26.8c, Aberporth 25.5c, ROW 25.1c (7 hrs sun), Shobdon 24.9c, CC 22.6c, CITE 21.3c, Cov 20.0c, Nott 19.6c.

Sun 24th Coventry has been rather dull of late, (as has much of the Mids I imagine) just 8 hours in the last 6 days, in contrast a couple of sunny days here at Lwn; Hereford & Pershore max 26.4 warmest in UK.

Bank Holiday Monday (25th) looking hot for Mids to be followed by an unsettled end to Summer 2025:

Sun 31st showery, isolated thunder Mids, some very heavy and prolonged downpours parts of WW, here at Lwn downpours, some torrential during the evening and night (into Sept ) gave 25.8mm making it the wettest day of Summer 2025.

Nature notes

Sat 2nd no Swifts seen but chicks are still in the end nest west side.

Sun 3rd single Swift around the church for brief spells dusk.

Mon 4th Llanybydder evening: half dozen screaming Swift old warehouse, droppings beneath evidencing one nest

Aberduar chapel: 8 screaming Swift, much droppings and staining evident. 7 or 8 areas of wall staining from the soffit and around half dozen poo piles on the ground beneath.

Rhydybont chapel: no Swifts seen here but all the HM nests still intact with much activity from around 15 birds some chicks being fed in the air.

Dusk southern forestry possible snatch of distant Njar heard in fading light (2130) half hour after sunset coming from down by road it seemed as we headed back down to main track.

Wed 6th after sunset lucky to catch an adult Swift entering the nest that still has chicks (furthest west side) it screamed a bit too.

Sat 9th: single Swift among the Martins and Swallows feeding above the gardens afternoon, could not hear the chicks the other night. Then a pair  eve which were above Church  dusk. 

Farmer cutting hay for the second time this season (first was in June), most years they only manage one.

Sun 10th Lampeter on the way to Coventry single Swift early afternoon.

M50 lots of trees with yellow flowers similar to Laburnum although could not be as these flowered in Spring.

Tue 12th 12 o clock ride, Binley Woods: Chiffchaff singing first one heard since probably early July.

Wed 13th 12 o clock ride again: Yaffle laughing.

Driving back drought stress evident to some trees especially ROW area which saw the hottest weather yesterday. These trees at least partly browned off and Autumn looking.

Fri 15th Chiffchaff heard from garden.

2 Swift among hirundines over the gardens this evening, latest hereabouts was Aug 20th 2021 with 8 over Aberaeron.

Tue 19th 80 plus hirundines above the village this evening getting ready for the off perhaps?

Sun 24th still hirundines but much fewer than a week back.

Since mid month some of the Ash trees leaves shrivelled and died could be drought stress coupled with die back? Unfortunately the worst affected is one that was quite heavily lopped in July so hopefully it comes back next year.

Sun 24th plenty of hirundines back this evening.

Mon 25th (BH) Forestry evening: dried out little mud and only water trickle down by the main road track. Some trees suffering drought stress especially the recent planted in 2021 (Birch and Rowan mainly|). 

Generally some trees on the turn (in the Mids they were on the turn in late July).

Llanybydder car park: plenty of HM, also back above our garden this evening.

Apples looked ready from mid month and now dropping (this about a month early).

Thank you for reporting the issue with our Pencader rain gauge.

Presently there is temporary telemetry logger monitoring the site and this was not feeding the website. This has now been re-configured so should provide rainfall data from tomorrow.

Nature notes

LL 5th - 9th:

Sat 5th Long Lawford 30 Swift  and dozen HM (far end of park mainly).

Disused railway near Draycote several Chiffchaff in good song also a few Blackcap less enthusiastic.

Green Woodpecker heard from 'bridleway' LL.

Hare at 50m and Yellowhammer singing a bit near the ford.

Wed 9th Abergavenny early evening several Swift about.

Llandovery 8pm 30 Swift mainly over the college colony, also (perhaps additionally) some above castle.

Fri 11th after a hot day c 15 screaming Swift about the church a fantastic display, seems to be 4 or 5 nests west front side and 2 the back.

Sat 12th after the second hottest day here (34c) still very warm evening:

Llanybydder car park, dozen screaming Swift about the old station, several about the warehouse.

Rhydybont chapel, 15 screaming Swift and c 10 HM (11 nests in total)

S Forestry dusk, walked up above western stream valley, first Njar 25 mins after sunset (2200) then hear one perhaps 2 calling on and off next half hour until dark. Final one was above the main track 300 m from gate.

Flying Ant days each day of the heatwave in the boiler room.

Mid month: another bout of hay fever after hardly having any while in Mids last week.

Bird song essentially over, has been the odd Thrush, Blackbird, Chiffchaff recently but it really died down end of June.

Blackbirds have a nest feeding young in the holly about 4 feet from the top where there is thick Ivy.

Sun 20th 15 screaming Swift dusk church.

Had to give some of the Ash trees quite a severe pruning as too tall, not the right time of year for this, so hope no harm done as they have tolerated die back well so far.

Mon 21st no Swifts seen on a damp evening; reckon some of the chicks have flown, possibly last week one on the back.

Tue 22nd single Swift Lampeter.

Wed 23rd Abergavenny single Swift this afternoon, then another over Rugby evening.

Fri 25th Yaffle heard LL, did not see a single Swift here.

Sat 26th Llandovery after a week of just seeing the odd single Swift, 30 plus above the castle dusk very high up, also decent numbers of HM & Swallow.

Sun 27th Llanwnnen half dozen swifts dusk (most in a week here).

Mon 28th 9/ 10 screaming Swifts dusk church, quite a few HM and Swallows.

Hall nest evidence 2025: evidence of 6 active nests this season ( 4 west side and 2 east side), evidenced by bird entries, wall staining, dropping piles and egg shells. (upload illustration)....

Nature notes

Mon 2nd Newquay Dolphin within 50 metres from the jetty.

Saw on Facebook about a farm in Pembrokeshire (Maenclochog) that has on it 44 House Martin nests!

Sun 8th several pieces of Swift egg shell on the ground at the hall and so so the first have hatched.

Mon 9th Swifts rather quiet of late with the cool and sometimes damp weather. After dusk 4 to 6 appeared with a bit of screaming around the church, within 5 minutes they were gone into the fading light.

Tue 10th quite a few Swift, lots of H Martins and Swallows over Lampeter late afternoon. About 7 or 8 completed nests now by the square/ car park, noticed part of a nest on the ground beneath and one egg there which was slightly cracked, had a look there was an unhatched chick inside so hopefully it died straight away. First Swallow young airborne. 

Wed 11th Llangrannog: plenty of Chiffchaffs singing still. Half dozen H Martin over the village and cliffs, evidence of them trying to build a nest in the apex above the toilet block and several inc one completed on a sea front property.

Thu 12th after dusk Swifts seen to enter rear (East) side each close to above insides of furthest two windows (N end). Other side (front/ west) droppings stain and pile between two closest (S end) windows.

Sun 15th 7 or 8 Swifts in a screaming party after sunset about the churchyard, one of the best displays so far this season. A lot of House Martins and Swallows over the village this year.

Tue 17th village lanes walk, plenty of CC, WW, BB & ST singing; back at the church after sunset 6 or 7 screaming swifts until after 10pm in near dark.

Wed 18th Aberaeron: Lots of House Martins, located around 10 active nests. Unfortunately a disaster had beset one nest overlooking the harbour, half of it had fallen down with 2 chicks just a few days old perished on the pavement beneath. Gull feathers? On the same property a few metres away an intact nest. The damaged nest attracting a great deal of attention with 5 or 6 adults prospecting it. Pair of Swift seen at various points above the town.

Back home dusk 10 Swift the most so far.

Thu 19th after a very hot day (max 31c) a sultry evening at Llanybydder: Half dozen screaming Swifts car park area, one seen to enter former warehouse another exit former station building.

Aberduar chapel: a dozen screaming Swifts here (most so far this season anywhere). They enter an exit effortlessly presumably having to negotiate the new plastic soffit up to the original sloping wooden one? Dropping stains on the wall beneath suggests half dozen active nests (presuming all this years)? Only a single piece of dropping made it to the floor beneath suggesting they are indeed still nesting in the sloping wooden soffit as were they in any gap between old and new soffit there would be much more evidence and more egg shells. Just one piece of shell evident on the ground.

Rhydybont chapel loads of H Martins, 6 new nests north end and 4 west side. About 10 screaming Swift came very close. Seen to enter and exit various points, one right of drain pipe west side into a gap I think between sloping wall top and soffit, another North side a metre up towards apex left side into a wooden box like feature of the timberwork (see video).

Onto the forestry by sunset: no Cuckoos, no Nightjars, no Grasshopper Warbler. Cuckoos most likely left us by now. The former Njar zones now have stands well over 10 years old and no longer suitable (my sightings here have decreased past few years). However would have expected them to colonise the big larch fell zone above the main road but all I heard was a possible short call back at the main gate. Tried the southern forestry over the main road it was almost 11, could faintly hear a distant Njar probably over half mile away, still much suitable habitat up the top of the hill but too late for that!

Late June: Swallows in the church tower issues perhaps new louvres. They were n't so bothered. Saw 4 exit Sunday afternoon (looked like adults).

S Forestry: Njars above western stream hillside and where come down steep to main track (several years regrowth areas)

Aberporth many HM and nests chapel area which may have some Swift nests (plenty of Sparrows in holes and prospecting screaming Swifts (3 or 4).

Summary June 2025
