Raptor Day

         Had a plan to go to Fly Flatts early hours but it
         didn't happen but got up there eventually, started
         off at Roper Lane but no Redstart then on to Taylor
         Lane and just 3 Pied Wagtails & Corvids then drove up
         to Ned Lane and seen 1 Kestrel and 1 Raven then over to
         Withens, 8 Goldfinch, 3 Meadow Pipit, 2 Kestrel. Finally
          got to Fly Flatts but quiet apart from Kestrels giving young
          hunting lessons and 6 Wheatear, on the way home I spotted
          female Sparrowhawk in a tree and a Little Owl.
       
         Garden had 8 Greenfinch, 12 Goldfinch, 2 Chaffinch,
         3 Collared Dove, lots of Swallows and Tawny Owl last night.
