I thought it was about time I got back to the random wandering. I was struggling to find a name for today's venue. The middle of nowhere was tempting, but I suppose it was half way between Cruise Hill and Norgrove Pool.
I parked at Elcock's Brook, and immediately spotted a Little Egret standing sheepishly in a field containing sheep. I rightly suspected this would be the highlight.
Later I chatted to a friendly local out for a walk, and he asked me what I'd seen. Once I got past the Little Egret I was floundering. A Sparrowhawk was my first this year, a Raven, and eight Redpolls. He seemed mildly impressed by the latter sighting.
At least it didn't rain, and there were views. Mostly of sheep.
It's hard to believe that Redditch is just over the horizon.
