Another Pie & Pea-souper

We had to visit the Birdcage Lane area this morning to Ing Royde Apartments and I took a few minutes to have a nosy at the birds in the garden thereabouts.

A very pleasant surprise was that of a Song Thrush that sat on a rock looking at me.

The photo is not brill. though.

Song Thrush seem to be quite rare as far as I’m concerned.

Also here were Dunnock, Robin, Blue, Great & Coal Tit.

I had a chance meeting with a visitor to the Ing Royde apartments, who informed me that he got LSW on his garden feeders and that they were ‘common’ in Copley Woods – so there is hope for me yet.

Raggalds Flood.

After a trip to a very foggy Bradford we stopped at Raggalds Flood for 5 mins– just Mallard there are far as I could tell. The mist closed in as I tried to take a few pictures, the pictures deteriorate as the mist comes along.

Snooker/Pool this tea-time so I'd better get my skates on.

(It's difficult playing pool in skates - perhaps that's why I'm loosing).

This popped out of my camera - not sure where I took the photo

and I've no idea what the bird is either!

Visibility not bad

2 Mins later -  visibility getting worse
