Foreside Lane to Home - Whinchat

I had a really enjoyable walk with my niece, Tina, very late afternoon - evening.

An a really good reward with 3 Whinchat seen at distance near Foreside Lane.

A few Gulls were in the fields up on the top of the track there.

Many Kestrel c7 in total, seen throughout the walk.
3 Red Grouse, Pheasant, Snipe, 2 Curlew, Linnet, 6 Swift, Swallow.
Frog and a black and red caterpillar, Roe Deer.

Usual Ogden Gull sp. as far as I could tell.
Great Spotted Woodpecker calling in Ogden Woods.

c40 Goldfinch on the hill.
(A feather and an Egg!!)

A really good outing and a cracking find at last, with the Whinchat.








Look out! Sheep








Snipe
