Stiperstones - Red Kite

That scourge of any kind of day list (Jay) finally got it's come uppance just before Pulverbatch as one flew along the roadside hedge there.. There was not much activity up on the Stiperstones, where I had a walk along the all ability trail with Gemma and in low cloud and mist, the highlight had to be this juvenile Red Kite...

Horrible light, given blue sky and a decent shutter speed, this would have been a good opportunity?





A check of the Darnford brook, refused to yield Grey Wagtail - another early year problem character... Plenty of time left and tally moves on to 88 for Jan...
