Lovely evening stroll to try and get seconds of the Shrike. No sign between 6-8pm. However, a great walk for new year birds.
1 Whimbrel over the goit.
5M and 1F Wheatear
1F Ring Ouzel (near the ruin, flew off strongly north)
Twite - 2 birds and then a single bird calling, with one seen briefly
Golden Plover - calling near the top of Great Hill
Red Grouse - calling
6 new year birds takes me to 98 for the year
Of note, a very pale Common Buzzard sat in one of the trees in the Shrike area.
