Ploughcroft area

 Along Hag Lane this afternoon towards Pepper Hill and  Claremount 

Another Stonechat - they seem to be all over the place this autumn. They appear to have had an exceptionally good breeding season with lots of family groups reported throughout summer and into autumn still.

Not a lot else up there other than a nice flock of c150 Starlings, 3 Linnet, 1 Common Buzzard and 2 Kestrels. Around 40 Rooks in one field must have found some interesting grubs to feed on. Don't usually see that many up here.

Stonechat - great to see them good numbers Dave.
Tough going up Ringby Lane at times Dave.
I remember your Yellow Wag. though.
Shrike would be a good bird!!
