Deeside area on Saturday

I strayed into Deeside for a few hours on Saturday looking for Whinchats which I'd seen in the area last year but they'd been replaced by Stonechats but it was good to see a pair had already fledged a brood. It was good to see a number of Lapwings and Curlews along with a good number of Meadow Pipits and Wheatear and a single Raven. The Red Kite ranged over a large area while I was there and was seen with a Buzzard and again with a Kestrel.
