On the look out for Dotterel.
I had a good stroll about late afternoon. The
weather was pleasant with a cooling breeze.
Raggalds Flood was bereft of birds and water.
I had a good look around the north side of Soil Hill, taking in some areas that I’ve
not visited before.
Things were mighty quiet today but a fleeting glimpse
of a skittish Whitethroat in the north side hedgerow brightened things a bit.
A bit of a muddy ‘pond’ has formed in the ugly
quarry workings, below the north side. Scanning with the bins 2 fields beyond this
‘pond’ I picked out a ‘blackbird’ way
off . It flew 20 yds and landed then 10 mins later flew again and landed. I
waited about for a good while but could not ID it.
Looking at the very poor picture - it could be a Snipe but it looks too small?
I was thinking maybe Ring Ouzel are breeding down
there.
Ned Hill Track was unusually disappointing.
At least I got back before this rain that’s falling
now.
The usual stuff about again:-
Moorhen,Lapwing, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Woodpigeon , Pr.
Mallard over, 3 Swallow.
A Pied Wagtail was on the quarry workings to the
north east – I don’t usually see them here.
Ah well – better luck next time out.
Today's megga distant unid
Any Ideas?
