Ringstone Reservoir (Wet!) a.m. / Local Fields (Dry!) p.m.

As I went outside early morning to deposit some recyling in the bin, I heard the faint call of Pink Footed Geese and managed to see three Geese heading WSW in the dark sky.

A bit later on I had another run over to Ringstone.

Obviously, I had had insufficient disappointment here yesterday so I went to have a disappointment top-up.

The weather was very wet and breezy as I legged it across the banking to shelter behind the bird hide.

I spent most of my short visit scanning from here, but seeing very little.

After lunch the rain stopped so I had a walk along the local fields to Ned Hill Road and back.

I got a few more 'ticks' ✓✓✓ today which was comforting.
