Shibden Park:
We took Abi and Emma to a very busy Shibden Park late morning so Abi could ride her bike.
It was a lovely sunny morning and very warm sitting outside the café, having a well earned rest!
I didn't see anything out of the ordinary birdwise.
Coot, Moorhen, 2 Mute Swan, Black Headed Gulls and a Mistle Thrush.
Bradshaw circular 15:00 - 17:10
I squeezed in a local stroll late afternoon today.
It was quite cool, after the warmth of Shibden park earlier, and very windy on the west side of Soil Hill.
Birds:-
Bradshaw Farm Track Area:
Little Owl, A Red Legged Partridge flushed from the track twice the second time it landed on a distant hillside.
Bullfinch.
Ogden Back Lane Area:( I didn't have time for the reservoir)
2 Goldcrest, Jay, Mistle Thrush, Moorhen.
Great Black-backed Gull very, very distant airborne.
Soil Hill:
2 Skylark.
Heron on the small pond to the east of the steep quarry embankment.
Taylor Lane:
Pr. Greenfinch (calling from the conifers - not seen).
Meadow Pipit.
2 Little Owl calling from their usual Taylor Lane location (not seen).
Not a bad 2 hours out and about really.
Shibden Park:
Bradshaw etc:
The new Ogden tree plantation seen from Back Lane
Best I could do!
Certainly looks like a GBBG but..
The black on the end of the tail is throwing me a bit.
Points to LBBG 3 cy but it looked very large.
Soil Hill Skylarks - again distant.
