Lymore

Good to catch up with the local wildlife again with Redstart, Mistle Thrush, and Hares showing well from the road.  Also seen were Blackcap, Robin, Treecreeper, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Swallow, Swift, Buzzard, and Peregrine.




For anyone interested, I've spent the last week on Orkney.  It is a fantastic place to see Short Eared Owls, Hen Harriers, Terns, and much more.  Full story here.

Edit.  Just realised the pictures were not showing on the link above, that is fixed now!

    Had a week there in 2013 and agree with you Edd, well worth a visit. Had great views of Twite there, etc.
