| Monday morning after rising late (I'd set the alarm wrongly) I set off to the Gullery on a byke. I saw Yellowhammers, Robins, Bullfinches, in the birches on the roadside. Larks were singing from the sky above the moor. On the Gullery pond were a number of argumentive blackheaded gulls, and a pair of Tufted ducks and Mallards. On the track down to the camp I came across the group of waxwings that has been in the area for sometime. They were perching, crests clearly visible in a birch as I watched some of them flew to juniper bushes, one of them hovering to get a berry. |
