An enjoyable outing this morning, that started out anything but!
Rain, blown along by a strong Southerly wind, greeted me as I got out of the car to put me boots on.
The weather did improve as the morning progressed but it remained very dull, mostly, but I went home very happy with the birds I'd seen today.
Birds:-
Curlew in good voice, lots of Meadow Pipit, 3 Oystercatcher, Skylarks up singing in the rain and wind and Lapwing darting about.
Pheasant, distant Common Gulls and Lesser Black-backed Gulls on a wall and some large Gulls overhead.
Chipping Common Snipe in the reeds, and a real treat, and a first for me a displaying Snipe drumming overhead.
Red Grouse, Pr. Raven being mobbed by Lapwing.
Canada Geese.
The bird(s) that I came here to look for, left it until I was nearly back at the car, to make their appearance.
2 Wheatear were together on a wall and when they left the wall for the field they was a third seen in the field.
Always great to get a March Wheatear.
Not the best video you will have seen - but for me an exciting moment!!
Glad you went home happy John some nice pics mate
