Breeding success for Grey Partridge
The shale area where yesterdays Black Redstart turned up has today been turned into a top soil tip.
Soil Hill p.m. A search of the area this evening proved fruitless but this is hardly suprising as several wagon loads of top soil have been tipped on the shale banking where yesterdays bird was first found.
Good news on Grey Partridge when I flushed a family from the long grass, 6 young flew into the next field followed by the parent birds after they had hung back to give me a bit of verbal first.
A single Linnet was feeding a juv on the wall and several Mipits were still food carrying.
LBB gulls were heading for TMR and several Swallows were blogging around the hill.
