Local Outing - Foreside Lane to Home

13:40 - 17:15

Foreside Lane - Moors - Ogden Water - Ned Hill Track etc.

Very breezy, and chilly with it, but dry and bright at times.
A fair trek around today but not much to show for it.
A Mistle Thrush was singing from the tree outside our house as I left.

Curlew, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Pheasant.
Pr. Red Legged Partridge.

Moors:-

Barnacle or Canada Goose? Anyone care to give an opinion.
My money is on Canada!!
An odd place to find one Canada Goose though?

15:15 Ogden Water:-

A bit quiet.

(Can't have Ring Ouzel everyday now can I?).


Spot the distant Red Legged Partridge


Canada Goose? miles away on the moors


Cropped - not a pretty sight!





A distant Soil Hill
The furthest point on my walk


Mega distant (cropped) pic - Carrion Crow I think?
