Although I didn't see any of the birds that I hoped to (Pied Flycatcher, Redstart, Wood Warbler), these photos remind me of a very enjoyable day walking around the visitor centre and up to the waterfall, especially the Red Kite hunting the hillside. It was a very cold day with occasional hail storms and snow visible on the hills so not surprising that the summer visitors were silent and stayed in shelter. Other birds shown - Meadow Pipit, Siskin, Nuthatch, Dipper, Common Sandpiper, Chaffinch, Dunnock

Find the Dipper
Spent an hour or two yesterday marvelling at the camouflage of the Dipper in a sunlit stream, its feathers echoing the ripples in the water. This bird was very busy feeding youngsters under the bridge I was standing on.
