Foxhill
Performing Black Headed Gull.
Yet another morning of thick fog then rain on and off all day.
Once the fog cleared late morning Meadow Pipits were going over >S in small groups meaning that there was a decent push over the moors. This continued till about 1400 hrs before stopping.
Midday at Foxhill was quiet with just me, 3 dogs and a performing BHG which was handy for camera practice, otherwise , apart from the moving Mipits, all was quiet. I take the big camera with me every lunch time walk now in case that well awaited skein of Pinkies come over my way and if it happens between times I have my other camera in my pocket at the ready.
Winter Thrushes are hitting the coastline now so its only a matter of time before we start getting sightings.
BS.
