Langden Valley

Courtesy DW an enjoyable trek in testing terrain at times on a pleasant day.
Stonechat were on form with c11 birds seen incl a family group.
2 Cuckoo were heard and after a prolonged effort one was eventually seen in flight being mobbed by presumed Meadow Pipits.
We were both hoping to get Ring Ouzel and were duly rewarded when Dave got a male in flight which alighted on a fence and was soon joined by its mate.


Others: pr Common Sandpiper, few Oystercatcher, Kestrel, LBBG, BHG, Curlews, Grey Wagtail, few House Martin, couple Blackcap, several WW, pr Mistle Thrush.
