A biting strong NE wind this morning as I tinned out of going for a birding walk (soft sod what I am).
Thankfully by mid-afternoon the wind had said hasta la vista baby and the snow was melting nicely , so I had quite an enjoyable local saunter.
First I checked out Raggalds Flood, then I went up Percy Rd and down Taylor Lane to home.
A salting machine was saxo-ing Percy Road - looks like being a cold day tomorrow.
Birds:-
Raggalds Flood.
65 Lapwing (1 Lapwing on the flood 64 airborne close by).
Kestrel.
2 Starlings.
2 Stock Dove.
Pheasant.
Little Owl.
2 Singing Song Thrush.
(No Gulls in the snowy fields).
Not bad all considered.
