Went up to Soil Hill again tonight to try and see that damned elusive
pimpernel ( Ring Ouzel ). I got out of the car and seen BS making
his way up the path so tried to catch him up as he knows the hot spots
up there but he was like Usain Bolt I got to the end of the path but no
sign of him, took a circular route and finally bumped into him when he
was on his way back to the car and telling me he'd seen the Ouzels and
directed me to where he'd seen them and got some pics, well I set off
with high hopes and guess what NOTHING I was gutted, oh well thats
nature for ya. I seen a bird land on a fence post and thought YES but
it was only a stray starling, I got all giddy for nowt.
Birds seen-:
1 Grey Heron down at pond
6 Pheasant
8 Lapwing
2 Partridge
1 Raven flying overhead
Meadow Pipits coming out of my ears.
6 Curlew.
The Pretender
Usain Bolt

Possibly gone down to roost Dave, they kept flying along the bottom towards the red body and back, there,ll be more. Never enough time to walk slow.
