Local birding today

With the day having slipped past I decided to take the bike out mid afternoon again and see what I could see locally. The Churchyard was disappointing, a pair of noisy Mistle Thrushes the best on offer, so I headed off to the nearby heath. A slow start with things picking up as I flushed a Woodcock. Next up was the ringtail / 1CY Hen Harrier again, followed shortly after by a Peregrine, based on size and build a male. Several Stonechats were along the roadside again as well, which concluded an enjoyable couple of hours and a further 12km travelled by bike and on foot.
