Soil Hill Fly Flatts Circular

Some thunderstorm weren't it? I never felt a drop but I probably dropped a kilo of sweat in what was a marathon sauna.
Pity I can't get loquacious about birds because you need them to be present in numbers and variety to do so.

7 Red Grouse seen on moors twixt Ogden and TMR, 2 WW singing briefly, 1 Kestrel.
