Bradshaw, Oats Royd and Holdsworth

It was a bright and breezy afternoon and I had a local walk today.

There was not a lot happening but it was good to be out and about.

A family of Wren were in the Bradshaw Park bushes and 20 Canada geese were in the nearby fields.

A lone Swift was seen earlier in the day and there were c20 Swallow on the way to O.R. and 12 or so Swallow feeding above the fields behind the factory.

3 Mistle Thrush were on a field wall and 16 or so Small Gulls were in the fields mostly Common Gulls.

Just a single Meadow Pipit seen on the way down and the ponds held 2 Moorhen, 2 Mallard and a Heron was seen 3 times (I guess it was the same one).

As the Heron left the scene a Kestrel (I think) left with it.

The photo is poor.

A second Kestrel was soaring over windy Bank Lane.

2 Jay squawked as they headed for cover and there was a couple of Greenfinch, a calling Bullfinch and a Chiffchaff hereabouts.

A Grey Wagtail flew over and there was a Wren in full song and that was about it.

A kestrel leaving the scene (I think) - poor pic.
