An Alpine Avalanche

All taken into consideration another poor session this morning 😪. Usual hirundines e.g House Martins. Swallows & Red Rumped dittos flying around then dropping down into Muddy Waters (there’s a blues song in the making here) for nesting foundations.

I decided to go round the mountainous section of coastline and all hell let loose. The air was thick with Alpine Swift so many whizzing about it was impossible to get close to an accurate count. Taking into consideration repeated same bird sightings I’m gonna say over a hundred as a conservative guess.

A Raven a Blackbird 🐦‍⬛ a Chaffinch and a couple of unid types subwarbling and grunting. Oh how could I forget the YLGs House Sparrows and Great Tit. I ain’t even gonna mention Colla…oops nearly did😑.
