Garden day

Common Carder Bee

Lady's Smock in the garden

Siskin

Elected not to go chasing the Red-rumped Swallow or the Golden Oriole at Costa and hunted locally. I did have a wander down to the Mill Dam of Rango but couldn't find the crane despite a fair old search.

Back at the ranch there were at least three Siskin, I suspect I'm seeing the same birds which are hanging around somewhere locally. Dunlin and Ringed Plovers were still on the Shunan and a male Hen Harrier scared the local Starlings into their usual panic. Pied Wagtails and Blackbirds are still feeding young in the nest and that's aboot it.
