Another scorcher this morning once a bit of mist had cleared, and a look for some breeze above Swalesmoor for me.
A walk along Ringby Lane and the down Howcans for a 1/4 of a mile or so.
Howcans Bridleway is a real gem.
The outward walk was very, very quiet along the tops and it took a good while along Howcans before any birds appeared - then they all seemed to be in the same small trees / bushes.
Good to bump into DB doing the rounds as I was on my way back.
Birds:-
Along Ringby Lane / Top.
3 Pied Wagtail, Kestrel, a few Goldfinch going (c40 on the return leg) Meadow Pipit.
2 Stock Doves.
