So after a week in the metropolis of New York, it was back to the rolling countryside of the UK, and what a struggle it proved to be! It was a very pleasant walk, if slightly chilly, but the birding was so difficult compared to New York.
This place is one of the best in the UK for raptor watching, yet we walked for about 8 miles and the best we could muster was 4 Buzzards and 2 Kestrels. A Common Sandpiper was a welcome sight, my first this year, and Dippers are always good to see.
Oh well, back to reality.......
