Red Lane, Gospel End Village (August 9)




After a week's birding on Anglesey it was back to earth with a bump! Red Lane is a local walk that I enjoy doing. It's a paved lane and due to the fact that there are just a couple of farms and a water plant at the end it has minimal traffic.


The moorhens on the pond have had another successful brood of young. I heard them but could only see one juvenile due to the dense vegetation and undergrowth.


Other juvenile birds around included great spotted woodpecker, long tailed tit, goldfinch and greenfinch.


The bottom field area on the right is great for stock dove and today I saw 3. Other birds on the walk included willow warbler, collared dove, starling.
