The stormy weather continues but the unseasonable Kestrel made a reappearance this time spooking waders feeding in the grassy fields in front of our house. I walked to Valyie and back in the hope of photographing it but failed to see it again but the burn produced 3 Woodcock and my first Song Thrush of the year. On arriving home, when indoors, the first bird that I saw was the Kestrel now perched on the sheep pens just outside but despite the strong wind it soon took flight off across the fields.

Poor light at 3pm as another squally wintry shower rattled through!
