Housework can wait until tomorrow

East Ditchburn 2 black lambs...cute



Work indoors can wait until tomorrow as it wasa such a sunny day cant stay in so we drove up to ingram valley because we havent been there in over a year. Apart from a lot of sheep unfortunately there wasnt much wildlife to see mainly because of the high winds. A walk alongside the river showed a pied wagtail and a pipit on the bank, but im afraid the pictures (above) havent come out as clear as i had hoped. Our dog Emm had a great time though with not many people about we could let her have a good run around. We took a lesuirely drive homewards and stopped on the hedgely eastate (old quarry) were theres a large number of breeding black-headed gulls...they make some racket! around the pond were 50+ canada geese, 30+ greylags, 8 tufted ducks and a buzzard circling above. Cant seem to pass boulmer withut having a look around and its a good place for hubby to have forty winks if he's feeling tired up on boulmer steele...the tide was out for a change because it seems to have been in every time we've been there lately..saw 4 sheilducks, mallard, 3 redshanks, 1 heron. Left boulmer for home at 18:20 but on the way out we observed the rare lesser spotted 'boulmer birder' sea watching from his parked car...didnt want to disturb you stewart :)
