A visit to this lovely area today with Trace and Clara,saw us walking the whole loop from Fairholmes up to Slippery Stones & back covering approx 12 miles,saw us enjoying a brilliant day despite the cloudy conditions.
Some really nice birds were seen and included a singing male Wood Warbler,Tree Pipit,Short-eared Owl,several Common Sandpiper,including 3 pairs with chicks,several Grey Wagtail and a stunning male Redstart feeding his two fledglings.
Apart from the birds,the stunning scenery entertained as it always does on our visits here.
The following are a few photos from our day.
