Back to Druridge....for only 20 minutes

After a gruelling few days of travelling to Cornwall and London I managed to get back to Druridge tonight, only for 20 minutes. Just long enough to ring a brood of two stonechat young in the dunes. There had been three eggs, so one of the young must've died.

Ugly little blighter....

I had a quick look on the Budge fields, a drake pintail stood out and the swallows are back at the hamlet now.
