Tuesday 8th December

Appalling weather recently so not likely to get out tomorrow, though I do have a little alternative plan if it brightens later in the week.

Last Wednesday arrived at Bogle Bridge to cycle to Kirkcudbright to catch a rear view of a large hawk about 20 yards ahead of me. It proved to be a red kite and two of them hovered over the road for several minutes in the strong breeze.

The ride itself was pretty much an endurance test but did stop by the moor on the way back to Gelston, just to check if the birds gathering in a nearby tree were indeed starlings.  In the binoculars, it was apparent that some of them at least were redwings.
