Sunshine beyond Listers Mill chimney
Flocks of Starlings
The steep climb back
Plenty Common gulls >NE
A mixed bag of weather today with a bit of sunshine, bit of rain and drizzle and a bit of snow with a cold NE>4.
A dinner time dash down the Dailie Fields was 15 mins well spent and although it was pretty quiet it cleared my head from the old motor I was welding up for a customer that was wanting to get another years MOT out of his car. The problem is he,ll be back next year with it saying the same.
Anyway, a Green Woodpecker was my first bird in the distant doing its undulating flight from bush to bush whilst 4 Linnet were again around the gorse bush area. Common gulls were on the move with 38 over >NE into the wind in the 15 minutes that I was down there.
Large flocks of Starling were feeding in the fields flying up into the trees when disturbed and a Robin was singing its heart out from a holly bush, all in all a rushed but pleasant lunch break.
