Gorple.


Another dry, mainly overcast, warm day was ideal for a circuit of Gorple Res. 
on the hunt for Stonechat – but with no luck.

Birds seen:-

Jay, Goldfinch, Curlew, Common Sandpiper 4, Meadow Pipit, Tree Pipit,  Reed Bunting, Juv. Reed Bunting (I think), 64 Canadas with lots of young.
Half way round the circuit a large buzzard sized bird showed on the top of the fell flying slowly with its legs dangling at times which I think was a  Raven.

Willow Warbler, Family of Greylag Goose, Swallow, Skylark, and others.

A stop at Wycoller café (on the way home) was rewarded with a Jay & Grey Wagtail.

A few Pics:-








Juv. Reed Bunting?

    I've never seen the dangling legs before.
