Castle Carr Rd


    Finally got my camera back so being out of practice
    I thought I'd take a trip to Fly Flatts but the weather
    wasn't playing coz by the time I'd reached Nolstar the
    fog and mist had come down, so I backtracked and went
    for a look down Castle Carr Rd.

    Lots of Skylark song and Meadow Pipits bobbing about,
    and about 8 Swift were darting about as they do, further
    up the road the Curlews were being noisy though at a
    distance and a Red Legged Partridge was running about.
 
   At the end of the track 2 Swallows were on the wires and
   lots of Goldfinch were about 2 of them picking sheep wool
   up for their nests which Ive never seen any do that before,
   and what looked like a female Stonechat was in the heather.

   Garden had Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Bullfinch, Blackbird,
   Blue Tit, Dunnock, Collared Dove, Jackdaw, Magpie, and
   a couple of feral Pigeons, also Roe Deer was seen on my
   outing. One Greenfinch was ringed.

Nice to see you've got your camera back again Dave.
Not a great day for pics though, with the gloom.
