Took bike to Gretna and rode back. Probable tree sparrow at farm near Dorncock. Did not stay long but spots on neck visible. Curlew and a mystery on the back road to Bankend. Birds observed feeding on ploughed land just past Midlocharwoods. I though they might be plovers but did not really fit the description. Grey head with some red around the eye, buff underparts with some brown mottling on chest. Didn't look like fieldfares and I can find no waders that match up - so unidentified.
Meanwhile willow warbler (or chiffchaff) appeared briefly in next door's garden and blue tits in mine.
