Short local outing

Emma and Abi with us today and with the gale and rain not a day to go walkabout.
I took a short car ride up to check the Raggalds Flood.
The gale nearly took the car door off!

Plenty of juice but not 1 bird by the flood.
A few Black Headed and Common Gulls on the football field close by.
A drive up Percy and down Ned Hill produced the same result with a few small gulls seen with Rooks and Jackdaws.

An unpleasant journey this evening to Sowerby Bridge then Heckmondwike then home - it was nice to get in through the front door!

A Heron was battling the weather, near Brookfoot.

I'm fed up with the incessant westerly gales and rain … whatever  happened to the beast from the east?
