Leeming
It

Mallard, BHG, Fairly sure of a M/F Shoveler, Tufted
Duck (not sure if M or M&F)
Flocks of c50 mainly BHG coming over heading
towards TMR. I counted at least 6 or 7 batches of c50 gulls. There must be a good few
up at TMR tonight.
LEESHAW:
Many Pheasants about including this under a tree nr. the farm
(unless of course it's not a Pheasant)
Could not ID this Muscovy most prob.
Starlings overhead?
PONDEN:
An elusive Jay
Spot the Jay
Today's Post
A white duck? in with the Mallards
I though these were Redwing at first
but looking at the Photos now - struggling -I think they are Song Thrush.
LEEMING:
Getting Late
Lots of gulls going to TMR late evening.
Well done with the pair of Shovelers for Leeming,great birds to get locally,I like the sunset picture you did well to spot them in poor light.

Like the Sepia header.
ReplyDeleteGreat find on the Shoveler.
Good time of year to get rewards if you check the reservoirs regular.
Saw your feeding station on Soil Hill yesterday, a good do, just needs the seed on the deck instead of the stone. Twite and Snow Bunt will only feed from the gravel for digestion, they wont touch it off the ground. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Bri.
ReplyDeleteI do put some under the rock - I'll lob it on the deck now!
Re: Twite. After seeing the Twite photos on calderdale blog I'm pretty sure I spotted 3 or 4 Twite feeding with some Redwing in the fields nr. Grey Horse Farm,Taylor Lane last winter.I did not have the camera then - hope history repears itself and I get a pic!
