Local – chilly morning stroll

10:30 – 12:45

I took a stroll around the Bradshaw area this, chilly, morning, through the park , down to Oats Royd and across to Holdsworth caravan park and back.

There was just a solitary Mallard on the Oats Royd ponds, but a Heron left in a hurry from one of the little pools by the track.

The trees were alive with birds flitting about,but getting photos proved a challenge with the foliage getting in the way.
There are lots of leaves on the deck so foliage soon won’t be a problem.

The usual suspects today, Robin, Blue & Great Tit, 12 Blackbird, 8 Long Tailed Tit, 4 Bullfinch, 2 Wren, Chaffinch, Jay, Pheasant and a nice surprise – a Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Nearing Holdsworth there were 4 Mistle Thrush on the telegraph poles.
Also about there were a few BHG and Woodpigeon , Rook with lots of Jackdaw.
An enjoyable couple of hours even without anything special coming out to play.





Lots of spiders about at the moment
