Oats Royd.

14:00

A short stroll through the snow to Oats Royd & back this aft.

The ponds were only partly frozen with the 3 stooges still in situ.

Birds:-

Collard Dove, Woodpigeon, Goldfinch, Blue tit, Great Tit, Kestrel, Blackbird.

A fleeting glimpse of a possible Sparrowhawk as it flew at speed from behind an evergreen – never to be seen again.

The ever dependable Carrion Crow.

Wren, Bullfinch, Chaffinch.

2 Moorhen at Oats Royd and another by the pond below Bradshaw Park.

Our friendly Mistle Thrush also made an appearance.
