Coach Road / Priestley Green

After being blown about Bradshaw & District yesterday I decided to go and be blown about elsewhere today.

It was a blustery, very showery morning, with frequent hail showers.

10:50 Coach Road

A stroll down Coach Road and back, looking for woodpecker, but not seeing any – that’s what happens when I don’t have Sue’s eyes with me.

Perhaps the wind is too strong and discourages woodpecker from drumming or calling – things may improve when this wind sod’s off.

Birds:-

Magpie, Blackbird, 2 Robin, Jackdaw, 2 Jay, Blue Tit, Chaffinch, C12 Redwing, BHG, Carrion Crow, 2 Wren, Song Thrush, Great Tit, 4 long Tailed Tit, Nuthatch, Starling, Woodpigeon, Goldfinch.

Priestley Green

I stopped on the way home at Priestley Green,  Hipperholme to have a look down Lees Lane, an interesting area.

I spent a good 20 minutes sheltering behind a holly bush out of the way of a hail shower. However, it was quite pleasant when the sun shone.

Birds:-

8 Blackbirds feeding together within a few feet of each other.

2 Goldfinch, 1 Redwing.

C40 Woodpigeon, 15 small gulls and C60 Jackdaws feeding together.
