6th November..... Pitstone, Stonechats.

My wife and I went to Pitstone Hill and later College Lake on way back home for a quick walk around and a salted caramel magnum. At Pitstone, highlight were 5 stonechats... 2 separate pairs and a single male, seen in their typical pose perching on top of low growing vegetation.

 

Meadow pipits kept rising as we walked past and good numbers of skylarks also doing the same.

Highlight at College Lake, 3 goldeneye that A C Bayliss had found and kindly showed us (and the magnum of course). Stewart.
