Birds Recorded:

1 Common Buzzard
10 Herring Gull
5 Lesser Black-backed Gull
Wood Pigeon
Dunnock
Robin
1 Stonechat
Blackbird
Wren
Magpie
Carrion Crow
Jackdaw
Starling

One of the two resident Common Buzzards at Tout Quarry

This male Stonechat at Fancy's Farm was........

...........singing. Not that you could hear it in the wind

Feeding time for the Carrion Crows, as a dog walker throws some scraps of bread onto the track. A Herring Gull looks on.

Bees Recorded:

Red-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius) - Deceased
