Hi Dave,
Had a look at Jamestones and area this evening and saw 5 Ring Ouzels feeding on both sides of the valley(3m/2f) up to 30+ Wheatear in the area(no strange looking ones) though a couple of colourful and plump ones enjoying the evening sun! Green Woodpecker giving it some yaffle.A female Sparrowhawk scattering the pipits,larks etc.6 Lapwing in the adjoining fields with a couple of Mallard and Pheasant for company,LRP,Canada Goose,nice looking BH Gulls all in all a very enjoyable walk.
Regards,
Dave Ousey.
