An unpleasantly windy outing this evening

A very, very windy dark mild-ish sort of day that promised some wet stuff but little rain

fell here.

I just managed a short evening walk up the local fields.

The walk was helped by the sight of two Raven occasionally being mobbed by the local

Crows.

They were flying a lot of the time , over the tree tops, with their legs down (whatever that means in Raven-speak) but never landed before going out of sight west.

Given the really strong wind I don't suppose I did that bad?

Birds:-

Pr. Raven.

7 Mistle Thrush.

(4 Mistle Thrush seen airborne later, were probably some  the same birds).

2 Stock Dove flying like bullets with the wind.

A Kestrel was hunting the hillside, through out, but caught nowt - a hard life.

c40 mostly small Gulls , with the odd Lesser Black-backed Gull.
