Birthday Lunch

Today was cold and windy but bright sunshine.  We were taking a drive to Rhandirmwyn for  Beryl's birthday lunch at the Royal Oak.  In the bright light raptors were very obvious with Red Kites and Buzzards everywhere sailing on the wind.

Fieldfare

We drove back across country to Pumsaint but few birds noted except for several flocks of Fieldfares feeding on roadside hawthorns where they still existed.  How sad the majority of farmers around here still do all their hedge trimming in the autumn thus destroying loads of food for wintering birds.
