Today, during a 5 mile circular walk of Crymlyn Burrows, starting off at Ferry Boat Wood, I was amazed by the number of Blackcaps on show. 58 in total including a minimum of 18 in one bramble patch. In fact, where there was one Blackcap there were usually many more, with more than 10 grouped together at 3 separate locations. The distance between the blackcap hotspots suggested to me that no double counting was at play here. Chiffchaffs were also in good numbers, but not quite as impressive as the Blackcaps and they tended to be more spread out along the walk.
Notable tallies from the walk: Wheatear (8), Blackcap (58), Whitethroat (7), Chiffchaff (37) & Goldcrest (1)
