A local stroll today - a dull miserable gloomy day with the sun opening it's curtains for 2 minutes, then going back to bed.
An interesting outing, nonetheless.
(Canada Geese in the field next to our house this morning)
A slow start with the stretch from Bradshaw to Holdsworth revealing a few Long Tailed Tit and not much else.
On then, to Oats Royd and a first for me in what must be 80+ visits - a Kingfisher.
The chat to the pair of fishermen down there bringing me luck.
The bird stopped just long enough for me to get a few photies of it in the gloom.
Also here about: -
Jay, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Moorhen, 2 Goldcrest, Wren, Blue and Great Tit.
Also 2 Chiffchaff.
The walk continued from Oats Royd, up and around Bradshaw.
3 Kestrel, Meadow Pipit, 4 Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Collard Dove.
Three Little Owl, Sparrowhawk.
Not a bad afternoon.
What the odds on a Hawk Owl for Calderdale this winter/spring?
Big change in the weather overnight should see the end of this Yuk.
Some gloomy photos:-
The copse near Holdsworth
Best photo of 14 or so!!
What's the difference between an egg and a Little Owl?
You can beat an egg.
