Showers and sun.
Ogden:
Usual Ogden gang:-
C90 gulls
mostly BHG with a few Common and a couple of LBBG.
One LBBG
being mobbed by a BHG.
Some interesting bird calls came from the first lot of bushes through the kissing gate , after crossing the promenade but the birds proved very illusive and I failed to spot any of them.
The bushes
on the west side of the res. were alive with birds flitting about.
It proved difficult
to get a decent photograph though.
Robin 8, Chaffinch,
Blue, Great & LTT with at least 6 Goldcrest.
Jay 2.
3 Cormorant,
GCG and the usual Little Grebe diving , and catching small fish ,by the look of
it.
Soil Hill Contour Footpath.
Breezy up
here with the odd shower.
Very quiet
today Kestrel, Common Gull , 2 Carrion Crow and that’s that.
At least I managed to put a bit of
bird seed down. For anyone interested I have put a small container of bird seed
(cheap stuff) behind the wall on the left, just beyond the radio mast. Please
feel free to lob some out! I normally put some around & under the large rocks that block
the footpath , about 5 meters from the mast.
On the way
down a possible sighting of 3 Partridge as they disappeared over the hill east
of Taylor Lane.
No winter
thrushes about.
My most photograph GCG
Look out Bri. I'll be taking 'em like you soon!
Come here
That's it - now stay still
Nearly got you
GULP (now where are those chips and mushy peas)
Mixenden Res. from a damp SH
Couldn't find a post so this is today's very interesting rock.
Solitary Common Gull on the underground res. field
Halifax sprawl from Perseverance Road - Wainhouse Tower is somewhere in the middle - honest
Good to see a shot of the Little Grebe with a fish which looks like a Minnow sized job. I don't know if they live in such acidic water however.
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the Grebe with fish.Apparently the water is well stocked with fish hence the long staying Cormorants and Grebes, or so I,m told.
ReplyDeleteGood do with the seed, I,ll scatter some Nyjer in that area.
The Snow Bunts were attracted to ordinary wild bird seed a couple of years back put down by one of the Halifax lads.
