Ryburn to Baitings Reservoir

Had an hour walking from Ryburn up to Baitings and back yesterday afternoon, pleasant when the sun was out but didn't feel like spring!

12+ Swallows
1 Cormorant
3 Canada Geese 
4 Wrens
6 Willow Warbler
Chiffchaff calling but couldn't see it!
2 Song Thrush nest building
2 Treecreeper
4 Goldfinch
1 Dipper, I'm presuming a different one to the other pair we see as this one was up stream close to Baitings??
2 Curlew flew over calling
And another surprise was a Common Sandpiper, moving up stream between the two dams

A couple of resent photos from the last weeks. The Short-eared Owls were just outside our area, one in the warm setting sun of the week before, the other a week later in snow!
The Common Sandpiper was one of a pair that were at Ringstone and  Curlew over Dean Head  cheers
