Today, we walked up Cliff Terrace toward the fields on top of Consti
hill. On the way, we saw this Siskin (among many Goldfinches, Blue
tits etc.) feeding in a front garden. I thought she looked very pretty
in the afternoon light so I took some photos.
Further uphill there were two Choughs feeding in one of the fields.
We then headed down Consti & walked to the Old College rocks where we
saw 19 Wigeon and 2 handsome male Shovelers out at sea.
A Grey Heron later appeared on the rocks and disturbed the peace, as
the gulls didn't seem too pleased by its presence!
A Kingfisher was also on the rocks, and we watched it as it tried to
swallow a fish that was almost as big as him! It took him a while, as
you might imagine!
Then to finish off the day, we watched the Starling roost. It was very
impressive, as usual. I took a few shots - enjoy!
