A look around Ness Point & Fallowfields

At Ness Point, on Saturday 26th October, the usual flock of 17 Turnstone flew in, no sign of the Purple Sand although it was very high tide. In the SLP yard just south of the Orbis Energy building, a female Black Redstart fed in the yard just beyond the railings. At the southern end of the Point a calling Rock Pipit flew onto the defence rocks. Also 1 Rock Pipit heard in Hamilton Dock too. Saw Maurice and we saw 4 Teal fly south. Back home, a calling Chiff- Chaff just beyond the garden had me peering over the fence without optical aids (except my spectacles) and the Chiff- Chaff showed well just 2 metres away in new Sallow bushes which have grown up since the Badger Building clearance of the land last March. Finally a Stock Dove flew east over the garden.
