Had a walk around the Blue course today. I was pleased to see a pair of Stonechats around the gorse on the 8th/10th. I saw some last winter, but not over the summer. A male and female were there today.

Not far away I had a good look at one of the bird-scaring kites. Tough to identify a species. The head looks to be Bald Eagle, the tail looks to be a hawk and the wings are shaped like a falcon. Hopefully it is convincing the Rooks and Crows to keep off the fairways - although I have my doubts...

I hear Ravens quite often around the estate. Their cronking sound is quite distinctive but I only usually see the flying overhead. This one perched atop one of the pine trees by the 13th Blue. The can make out its large beak.

Just a bit further along the path, behind the 16th green, I came across this Muntjac.
