There were some pretty autumn colours today.
The usual birds here again:-
Black Headed Gull, Mallards, Coots , Moorhens and Mute Swans.
15:00 - 16:30 (dark).
Managed to squeeze in a short walk, late afternoon as the light was rapidly disappearing, hoping for a Bunting (with Sue baking with Abi this aft).
Nothing out of the usual.
Little Owl on Taylor Lane with a good few Common Gulls.
One or two Common Gulls calling frequently.
A few Starling flew low overhead.
Kestrel was seen at 3 or 4 different locations along the way, hard to say if it was the same bird each time.
It was becoming dark on Soil Hill so I did not expect much - just as well.
I took a walk along the quarry path to check the quarry 'pond' where just 3 Mallards were in residence.
A Pheasant flushed from the West hill side and there were a large flock of Lapwing, miles off in the lower Shay fields.
3 Wildfowl types on the Lower NK pond - Moorhen and a Wren popped out to say hello, not staying long enough for the camera to focus properly.
Just a Blackbird in the Ned Hill Track bushes.
A detour to Raggalds Flood saw a decent water supply and 43 or so Lapwing.
The camera did a pretty good job to pick them out when they were only just visible through the bins.
A poor show, but if you don't look....
Eating the contents of a 'Bun tin' with a coffee now so not tooooo bad.
November has been good to me in the past, but not so far in 2017.
