It was a lovely sunny afternoon and I wasn't too sure what I would find, but it was just nice to have a change of scenery.
As it was sadly, there wasn't much about apart from a Robin on the fence at Fancy Farm, a single Goldcrest at The Grove and 2 Meadow Pipits heading south. A Kestrel was keeping tabs on me as it sat on top of Nicodemus Knob.
Here are a few images and videos from this afternoon:

Later it was in the tree tops further south
And Ted, who absolutely loved this walk.
