As things go the 'stock check' was the same as any other day, lambs on the wrong side of the fence, lambs with their heads stuck through the fence and a great way to spend a couple of hours riding around on a quad bike and being paid but today we had the added wildlife.....
Before I even started, while walking Troy in the field next to the house, a fledgling Buzzard was found waiting for it's mum, the biggest 'chick' I have ever seen.
Checking the fence along the cliff tops is one of the best bits, I always stop to see what I can see and just to listen to the waves but today was even better, there were 'Choughs' ( I didn't think they lived around here ) and a seal swimming around near the cave, great.
After spending a little more time than I should watching the seal I set of to check the cattle down in 'Bottoms' and there, swooping across the rearing field (not good) was a Red Kite.
All in all a fantastic way to start a day.....
