Bradshaw to Queensbury play gym

10:30.

A cold blustery morning with intermittent, face stinging, hail showers - this kept bird life very quiet.

10:45 Raggalds Flood.

3 Canada Goose, Lapwing, Pied Wagtail, 2 Crows & no water.

Old Guy Road.

Just 5 Starling and no "W"  bird.

Low Lane

C25 Starling, Pr. Lapwing giving Jackdaws some grief, a few Meadow Pipit, Pied Wagtail, 6  Greenfinch - one collecting horse hair, House Sparrow.

A large gull over  - possible a 2nd winter GBBG?

11:35 Cycle Track.

Just a Pied Wagtail and not much else.


(A bird (poss. Raptor) moving at high speed and fairly high up , dark, shape like a large swift - possible Merlin but not sure with it being so high - ah well, at least it broke the monotony).








2nd winter GBBG?

  1. 2nd Winter LBB.
    GBBs much darker and brown with no grey mantle.
    Did well to get a shot in the strong wind

  2. Thanks for the update Bri.
    The gull was quite kind staying around for 5 mins or so.
