PINKS.............................

A pre dawn dash to the hills was well worth the effort.......

Meadow Pipit 245  S/W
Skylark 20 S/W
Black headed Gull 26 S/W
Starling 9 S/W
Hen Harrier 2 high S/W (1 stunning male and 1 ringtail)
Merlin juv female chasing meadow Pipits
Swallow 3 S/W

Lapwing 8 (6+2) S/W

1 x Goosander , 2 Grey Wagtail , 1  Pied Wagtail , Kestrel 8 , Buzzard 1, Mallard 40 + a few displaying when the sun came out . A very strange sighting of a Weasel on top of a fence post hissing at 2 Pheasants sat on a wall , the Pheasants did not seem bothered at all..!!
