At last, decent weather late afternoon with a WSW>4 and 100% cloud cover with no sign of the blinding sun.
Ringby top was alive with Goldfinch moving around from patch to patch of thistles, one flock well over the 100 mark, whilst a small flock of 10 Linnets kept to the northern end around the banking.
Good to meet DJS up there making watching easier when viewing 360 degrees.
Corvids were up in force mobbing a Kestrel whilst LBB gulls harassed a Sparrowhawk . Meanwhile sharp eyed Dave clocked a Buzzard way across the valley low over Hunter Hill but unfortunately going in the opposite direction.
A small flock of 15 passerines flew over >S looking like Siskins but unfortunately neither of us could get a definite I.D. on them so they have gone down as : cud av bins :.
As we parted company and headed our separate ways, Dave to his car at the south end and me to my car at the north end, I got a call from Dave reporting a f Stonechat near to Ploughcroft, a bird I,d just been remarking about not having had one this year, but with time against me I had to give that one a miss for now.
