Galley Head Birding

October 13, 2009 - tree pipit

Quiet again this morning around Galley, despite nice, calm drizzly conditions. The first redwing of the autumn was in gardens at the top of Dirk, with a couple of chiffchaffs there too, while a flyover calling tree pipit was a welcome addition to the patch year list (127) - only my second at Galley.
