Beautiful day yet again so off we went along the river Almond in the afternoon to see if we could spot a KF. Took up our usual position on the riverbank and watched the swifts, swallows and martins flying about overhead. A KF duly appeared after about 20mins and flew up and down the river a few times!
Also saw lots of butterflies including the orange tips and a peacock, as well as numerous whites. A perfect day for buzzards today with a good breeze and warm temperatures. Saw about four of them soaring on the thermals and one was chased and harried for ages by a crow that seemed determined to drive the buzzard off!
Other birds spotted included siskin, goldfinch, warbler, robin and thrush so it was a good haul. On the way back to the car saw more buzzards and also spotted a kestrel and another siskin. Another nice walk in warm sunny conditions - how long can this weather hold out for??
