A day out at Bransdale in pleasant but watery sunshine saw Meadow Pipits, Lapwings and Curlew all taking up territories and displaying. Plenty of Red Grouse scurrying about but surprisingly, not one Buzzard seen all day.Small herd of Fallow Deer on way back, including the fine stag photographed.

Late in the afternoon, a dead fish washed up on Brid. beach caused a fracas amongst the local Greater BB'S.
