In amongst I manged to 'slope off into the undergrowth'.
Clay House - West Vale.
I had a 30 minutes nosy about around Clay House, just keeping to the tarmac paths.
Birds:-
Great Spotted Woodpecker - the pictures are rubbish - but I was well pleased to pick it out!
Mallard, Treecreeper, Nuthatch.
Great, Blue, Long Tailed and Coal Tits.
Sainsbury's Halifax.
I had a stroll around the car park while Sue picked up a parcel.
Lots of berries on the trees bit no Waxwing on my visit today.
A Sparrowhawk made a brief visit.
I still find Raptors difficult to tell apart- I though I had a Peregrine at first.
But the bird had blunt rather than pointed wings and quite a long tail.
Roper Lane (Raggalds).
We stopped on the way home on Roper Lane near the Raggalds where there was a substantial flock of birds.
Mostly Starling and Lapwing (c150) with some small Gulls in amongst.
A late afternoon stroll to the Junction Inn at Scholes,and back brought with two very pleasant glasses of vino collapso but no a lot else.
A few Gulls were in the Pit lane fields and the, earlier, large Lapwing flock had dwindled to just a couple of birds
An enjoyable day.
There is a G S W here somewhere!
First sighting
