My first Purple Sandpipers this year. These three...........
..............were on the ledge just below The Pulpit
And my first Little Owl of the year. Last year they....
.........didn't nest in the Obs Quarry.............
.............so its good to see them back.
It looks a standoff between me and this Rock Pipit. I'm sure it blinked first!!!
At the Obs one of the 7 Long-tailed Tits.....
.........that have been there today.
