I had a short stroll around Oats Royd this aft.
Just the usual stuff around but it was nice to see 3
Moorhen with 2 younger Moorhen dashing about.
A pr. Canada Geese had 5 Goslings in tow at Bradshaw
Park.
A Swallow passed high overhead as I reached home.
A bit of a boring old day today I’m afraid, but you
need a few of these to appreciate it when the Mega comes along – tomorrow??
Birds:-
Mistle Thrush, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Heron,
Mallard, Wren, Robin, Blackbird, Blue Tit.
Plenty of Midges about
Robin of the day

Nice sharp Willow Warb.
ReplyDeleteThat shrub at the top looks like Berberis darwinii - a very good shrub with lots of flowers and later dark blue berries which Blackbirds love ! Looks like the insects love it too.
ReplyDeleteTo late for Waxwing this year - but is there any chance the shrub could attract Waxwing Dave,or do the berries appear too late in the year?
ReplyDeleteThe berries have been on this shrub a good few weeks now.
Thanks for the comment.
