A very cold morning so I went up Queensbury and had my ears lowered.
There were frequent cold showers that came and went today, taking most of the lying snow with them.
I eventually donned my waterproofs and thought about trying Soil Hill for Snow Bunting but opted instead to walk down and around Oats Royd.
I was fortunate with the weather, it remained dry and the sun actually came out on the return leg.
All this waffle means, yep, not a lot of birds about.
Birds:
2 Grey Wagtail were by the farm below Bradshaw Park and c20 small gulls were feeding in the fields across from the main path.
Oats Royd itself revealed 6 Long Tailed Tit, 2 noisy Jay, Heron, 2 Moorhen, Goldcrest and a Wren.
Bradshaw Park had a few Blue & Great Tits and c6 Goldfinch.
No sign of the Ringed-necked Parakeet today.
I met some people who live in the flats (where it was first seen) and they said they had not seen it 'in ages'
