An awful weather forecast failed to materialise and we only had a few spots of rain throughout.
No birding time here, but we did stop at Flamboro Head 'on the way home' for an hour.
A short walk down to the Observatory and back was all I could squeeze in.
Birds:
Gannets in large groups were flying above the sea.
The usual beautiful Kittiwake on the cliffs.
A pr. of Juv. Kestrel held my interest for a long time.
The first bird seen was really dark brown and perfectly camouflaged against the dark brown of the sandy soil here, making me think Merlin.
Then a second bird appeared and they sparred a bit.
They looked to be learning to fly.
(Earlier last week I'd ordered another bird book on Amazon and it had arrived when I got home.
This is my second Macmillian Guide to bird ID - one for the car and one for home.
The book, which is second hand, cost me £2.49 and it is in immaculate condition. A real purler!
With all my bird books and 2 DVD's you would think my ID skills would improve - but I'm afraid that I'm still at the bottom of the class!).
