Cold Edge Disappoints

Exercise value only in the main as a SW’ly wind decimated the chance of birds. 1 Mistle Thrush, couple Meadow Pipit and 3 Pied Wagtail only.

Things improved halfway down the golf course. I almost trod on a sheltering Skylark and there were plenty of Swallow plus a House Martin feeding, often just skimming above the grass. A Kestrel flew over and I encountered a Stonechat that kindly posed for photos while alarm calling continuously.



I didn’t hang around too long and no others were seen. Also a pr of Linnet.

I had the good fortune to see 3 Barn Owl sat together in a row.
