Out and About

Not much birding time today.
Good to chat with Dan Br. on his way down from Soil Hill, as we went along Percy Rd on our exercise walk this morning.

A trip to Elland to see Sue's old boss and drop some Marmalade and Chutney in (at arms length!)was followed by an 'awkward' journey to Sainsburys - Brighouse with a few roads closed and Brighouse stacked with traffic.

I did get a very short nosy about, outside of Sainsburys, while Sue picked up a parcel.

A bit of garden watch after tea a cool murky do.

We are feeling a bit at a loose end now, wanting to get moving, but this feeling is tempered by the Covid situation which is still lurking in the shadows.

Birds:

Brighouse:

A good few Swift and Swallow zooming over the river bridge near Sainsburys, Brighouse. I didn't pick out any Sand Martin but the birds were moving at rare old speed, hard to ID with confidence.

Lesser Black-backed Gull and a Cormorant high over the river as well.

Garden:

Usual stuff.
Lesser Black-backed Gull, Swallow, Collard Dove, Goldfinch, Woodpigeon, 1 Stock Dove moving fast.

Ah well , always tomorrow..
