Headed up to Castle Carr Road again this morning to see, what turned out to be a viscous hail storm approaching from the west. It hit hard, lasting a while before a brief break then the next one came in just about the same time as PB arrived to check if any Ring Ouzels had come in too. I think he drew a blank there. Even so at least 5 Wheatears were still showing well. even when hiding behind tufts of grass and sedge but still finding food, including some substantial caterpillars.
Then the next hail storm came in and I lost them from view.
Tried a few photos but they are not great so might not bother posting them !!
5 Sand Martins on Cromwell Bottom ski-lake from JB were not too unexpected but finding insects in flight today must have tested them. Several Chiffchaff around the same location and still 5 Goldeneye and 6 Tufted Duck on the lake.
At Brearley this afternoon there are still 2 Pink-footed Geese and a Barnacle Goose (none with leg rings) with the flock of Canada Geese.
