I had a shortish visit to Ringstone after lunch today.
Another hot one but a cooling breeze here was enjoyable.
Great to chat to Peter G. who was sporting a very fashionable sun hat (very Glastonbury Elvis!).
JB had been here previously and had seen a lot more birds than I managed (nowt new there) so this blog probably does not do the place justice!
Anyway here goes.
Birds:
c10 Swallow, 5 Pied Wagtail.
Heron being mobbed by Black Headed Gulls.
Greenfinch, Willow Warbler, Goldfinch, Bullfinch.
Skylark, 4 Stock Dove.
5 Tufted Duck.
Cormorant.
c20 Mostly Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
Possible Herring Gull (poor photos).
c10 Lapwing - very well camouflaged on the dark coloured stones.
5 Sand Martin - swooping to drink and also collecting mud.
2 Great Crested Grebe.
2 Oystercatcher.
Mallard.
3 Linnet.
