Our Bank Holiday

As I normally work on Bank Holidays, we take ours later. So off we went to Wallington hall. The weather was great, the gardens colourful and the wildlife not bad. I got Blackcap and Spotted Flycatcher in the wood and you just have to take pictures of the Reds. I chased Orange-tip and Small White nearly all day and just got a handful of half-decent shots. Anyway, it was a great day out.

Back home I took a walk along the local burn and was rewarded with Dipper and Grey Wagtail.

I haven’t a clue what this Thrush was doing; it wasn’t singing it just stood there for ages with its beak open
