mega distance, probably over Green Lane.
Late afternoon and other than fog and strong winds the weather was my third great hate, hot sunshine and clear blue skies. As I was deciding where to go I knew I needed somewhere with a cooling breeze so Ringby for some sky watching was chosen.
As always, with Ringby theres something to watch to keep you interested and today was no exception. Around 100 House Martins were drifting down the valley >SW along with a lower number of Swallows.
Over to the east, probably over Green Lane area, 3 Buzzards were up being mobbed by a Kestrel but these unfortunately would,nt drift any nearer to my position. Herring gulls were moving >W along with a few LBBs and at least 1 Common gull whilst a flock of around 30 Linnets were mobile along with a flock of around 40 Goldfinch.
Good to bump into DJS up there who arrived just in time to witness a real hard tussle between a Sparrowhawk and corvids which ended up locking talons at one point.
The forecast for morning looks about the same but a fresher SW wind is expected hopefully so we,ll see what turns up tomorrow.
