Augusts gone by. 2015/ 2016.

A walk down Slaughter Gap late afternoon in the hope of early dispersing Redstarts failed to produce the goods. The usual long walk down and scramble back never gets any easier but the dogs were in good form so helped pull me up.
                                                  No sign of passerines other than Linnets, Mipits and around 9 Wheatear, all distant on walls but adults in autumn plumage.
Several Swallows and Swifts were overhead but little else.
                                                  Just to ease this boring report heres some August birds from 2015/2016.
