Roils Head 22nd August PM

After a couple of blank wet days an afternoon walk produced Roils Heads 4th Redstart of the year and 3rd for the autumn. Also 4 Willow Warblers, Goldcrest and 2 Coal Tits.3 Roe Deer on the home was a bonus.

An evening birding with DJP produced 4 Spotted Flys at Luddenden Dean, Short-eared Owl, Twite, Reed Bunting, 2 Grey Herons and 9 Pied Wags at Baitings. At an undisclosed site we had both Long-eared and Short-eared Owl with a large bat species over head and a Hare in front of the car on the way home.
