Rock Pipit at Lower Gorple

A Rock Pipit was found tonight by Me and NCD it was seen for about 10 minutes by to drain at the Keepers cottage side of the dam. It may still be present tomorrow morning..Just got up to Lower Gorple as the rain was stopping and stumbled across this little beauty. Also 2 Hens , 2 Buzzards , 3 Barn Owl and 5 Pink footed geese dropped in at dusk...

Still present on the 2nd October great photo by Dave Franz ..cheers



It was last seen on the 6th October , very rare for one to stay for so long inland..It was seen by many observers and some great photos were taken , this is my favourite take by Gary Waddington .
