Galley Head Birding

October 18, 2009 - I saw yer dick's!

News of a richard's pipit out near the lighthouse this morning prompted a speedy(ish) departure from the house, complete with 3 year-old and buggy! Managed to hear it calling, and then watched it fly high off out to sea, still calling, with no sign of returning - shame it didn't stick around (130). Only the second one I've seen here, and neither have shown very well! The rest of Galley seemed pretty quiet though, with nothing obviously new in.
