As we walked from the fishing ponds towards Ganny Lock a Buzzard was being mobbed by crow types.
A Greenfinch called a bit further along.
On the return from Brighouse a Kestrel was in the same place as the earlier Buzzard.
On the way home in the car a large Raptor was seen soaring over Northowram.
I grapevined the sighting just in case anyone was there abouts - could have been a Red Kite or more likely a Buzzard. Too far off to say.
Soil Hill, Taylor Lane etc.
14:30 - 16:15
Another look around Soil Hill, snow still on the deck and a really strong bitter wind on the west facing hilltop brrrr.
Not much happening on the hill, a Drake Teal was on the lower NK pond. A nice 2020 tick today!
2 Herring Gull seen from Ned Hill Track.
An airborne Common Gull ,had black feet by the look of the photo - I can't turn it into a Kittiwake though.
Presumably it's been foraging in the "Black hills of Dakota"
Taylor Lane:
Rook, c10 Goldfinch.
c15 Fieldfare with a group of Starling.
Greenfinch calling from the Conifers by the Koi Carp farm.
The usual Lapwings and Starlings, at distance, by the Raggalds.
A Stock Dove was on a farm roof - seen from Bradshaw Lane.
Good to chat to Dave B. up here.
(I'd have mentioned the Teal location Dave, If I knew they were in the camera!!).
Way distant - Drake Teal
