Yesterday was set to be lovely and Rob wanted to head back so he could try and get some photos of the Grey cheeked thrush.
We went via Sound first to see the Arctic Redpoll. It wasn't playing ball, but there were lots of the usual redpolls. It wasn't until Jill got home that she discovered she had taken one shot at a distance right as we were leaving!
We went over to Quarff again, it was much quieter as most folk were leaving just as we got there. We were left with less than 10 of us. Mark and John were good company and we stood quietly and waited. The Thrush put on a really fab show.
Today we did some cleaning and made the most of the weather again. This time the Arctic Redpoll showed a little better.
Jill enjoyed watching the Starlings picking off fushia flowers.
On the way home we stopped at Tresta to look for the Golden Oriole that had been spotted, this was one of Jill's wants to photograph and finally she gog it.
It was a lovely session in the old garden.
Then we quickly checked Melby, and had a brief otter, and then came home, tired but happy.
