Weetslade Ring Ouzel

This afternoon's stroll around Weetslade was quite productive. First bird seen on the North slope, east end this Ring Ouzel.

A Wheatear covered the ground just behind.

There were lots of Skylark, Pipits and Linnet around the slopes of the hill

Onto the reed beds where a Great Spotted Woodpecker occupied a dead tree and a Grey Heron took flight.

A Little Grebe was spotted on one of the open water areas and a Tawny Owl called from the nearby small patch of woodland

A couple of Roe Deer scampered across the hill face

 and a Buzzard circled overhead.

Two trail bikes and ten dogs together completed the sightings
