Problem with all this biking me-larky is it makes you tired so apologises for a late blog. A day of two halves, early start in the grandborugh valley then back home for a few domestic duties ending the day with a late finish at pond. Twenty five mile biked today so not surprising I crashed out on sofa. Grandborugh was a great success with two Barn Owls, Raven, Grey Partridge, Tree Sparrow 4 and a Corn Bunting which I have not seen in valley for a few years. Also some very good views though distant of 'leo'. Late arrival at pond for roost so a only brief look at Lesser Scaup and Smew just to make sure they were still there. Wind had picked up so it was not easy doing roost and it was a non-birder who asked if I had seen the hensborough bank Red-necked Grebe so got distant views of that before resuming. Found out later Kieth Warmington had found it so I owe you one Kieth. Many of the Herring Gulls adults are now showing white heads so not so easy picking out the yellow-legs but managed to find three adults and one adult Caspian Gull. Other birds of note were Kingfisher, 2 Ruddy Duck, Grey Wagtail, Buzzard and 3 female Shoveler.
