Bradshaw – Queensbury Play Gym.

It’s Saturday morning again and another walk from home to Queensbury play gym – what an exciting life.

Climbing up the Bonnet towards the Raggalds ,10 BHG in fields with 3 Pied Wagtail and 10 rattled Meadow Pipit unhappy with the Kestrel perched on the wall nearby with what looks like Ratatouille for lunch!

Lowe Lane.

Deadsville down Lowe Lane just a couple more Pied Wagtail & Meadow Pipit.

Behind the Junction Inn C10 Swallow buzzing about with a Goldfinch here. Another couple Pied Wagtail on the house roof with a Collard Dove.

Towards the cycle track bridge 11 Canada geese still resident with a few Starling on the pylon and a few Woodpigeon. 

Seen from the cycle track 7 Goldfinch perched in a bare tree with 4 Blue Tit a Great Tit and a Coal Tit. 
Calling from the trees opposite a Great Spotted Woodpecker.
C20 chattering Starling on the pylon, also flying over a Jay.
A quick walk to the railway tunnel was rewarded with a Grey Wagtail near the tunnel entrance.

Then a nice surprise (for me anyway) a singing Chiffchaff in the trees to the left of the cycle track opposite the nicked gate.

Also here a single Kestrel then a pr Kestrel flying over.

Not a life changing experience today for me but most probably for the rat!



 Ratatouille for lunch!

  1. Well spotted with the Kes and rat.
    Gt Spotted Woodpeckers seem to be getting rare around here, Ogden used to be alive with them.

  2. Wasn't sure if it was a rat or a mole - but moleatouille didn't work somehow!
    Cheers.

  3. Kestrel's preferred meal of course is Vole au vent.
