During the past week I visited several local sites. Highlights were Meadow Pipits, Pied Wagtails and Stonechats, all at Climping Gap. The Pied Wagtails repeatedly flew up a metre then landed.
note: ids of Meadow Pipit and Grey Partridge have been revised from the original labels on advice from wise ones...thanks!
