Ambitious bike ride to Moniaive with Wednesday Wheelers at appropriately slow speed. After spotting mad march hare on way out of Dumfries decided to see if I could beat the dozen bird species spotted on last ride and was surprised to notch up 20 on the way there alone.
Most productive stretch was the back road from the Cairn to Moniaive, producing male bullfinch and kestrel, which is now almost rare locally. Also possible female grouse or red-legged partridge in stubble field that immediately hid before I could get a second look.
Much cooler in steady East wind.
