Birdcage Lane – not much happening.

A bitterly cold morning with snow in the weather forecast.

 A visit by Sue to see her Dad at Ing Royd, allowed me to have a very quick gander around the Birdcage Lane area.

A Nuthatch was on the feeders in a garden and a few Great Tits were knocking about. The wind here was very strong, to say it’s a lot lower than Bradshaw, keeping the bird life at bay.

I looked and listened out for LSW (given that they have been heard drumming at Coach Road earlier this week) but failed to hear or see anything resembling a Woodpecker.

2 Redwing were in the oak trees near Scar Bottom Road - a nice surprise.
The rain began at 11:00 and by the time we got back to Bradshaw it was mostly the white stuff.

A thoroughly miserable afternoon but at least the snow turned to rain later. 

At least I finished the crossword – better luck tomorrow.
