a very long walk
a mornings walk from my house to fly flatts and back again. first we went up to soil hill where we saw a kestrel.then to ogden where we saw the various ducks and a goldcrest which flew litterally 1 inch away from my head. the robin was there again to feed off my hand and this time he actually landed. then onto ogden moor where we flushed 1 lone golden plover. then 6 gazillion grouse (slight exageration) and 2 crows. we heard a loud scream probably from a merlin but could be some other bird of prey. then onto fly flatts where about 100 mor grouse were flushed and 1 tufted duck was on the res itself. then back down home. on the way we saw 2 song thru[sh in the school garden and 5 collard doves on the wires.
