A very dull grey cold day today with intermittent light rain this aft.
Some of the misty stuff had thinned out a bit as I walked along the sodden path to Ned Hill Road bottom and back.
I need some new wellies my Green Dunlop's with a fancy red rope thingy on top have sprung a leak.
Trouble is I find it hard to spend a lot on Wellies ( These were £49.50, cheap apparently in October 2023) - so it looks like I'll have to fork out £100 or so for some that might last a bit longer.
Anyway - enough moaning - well maybe not.
Just after lunch a Sparrowhawk landed on the building opposite our house and stayed just long enough for me to get its mug shot.
I am not keen on Sparrowhawks.
I get so few garden birds that I don't want a murdered in the garden reducing their number!
The walk was as per usual with no new arrivals as yet, although I scanned the fields for ages trying to eek out a Wader!
Birds:-
Sparrowhawk.
15 Common Gull.
10 Herring Gulls.
2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
15 Rook.
Two Little Owl.
4 Stock Dove.
Heron over head.
2 Drake Mallard.
And.... a few other species.
