Abi with us today but I managed to slope off for a while while Sue was trying to get her up and bathed - not easy.
Later, we played football in the park , I was The Great Superendo - goalkeeper (more grate that great).
An enjoyable, if cold, rest followed, sky watching from the garden for a short while.
Birds:
Taylor Lane:
Little Owl, Pheasant.
Soil Hill:
Approaching Soil Hill a skein of c95 Pink Footed Geese flew West.
The hill itself was megga quiet.
Pheasant , Blackbird, Moorhen and a calling Reed Bunting(not seen).
A Fox was crossing the shay fields mobbed by 7 Magpie.
About 20 Magpie seen today.
Elsewhere:
A flock of c20 Pigeon \ Dove were airborne, distant, near Ogden are possibly Stock Doves.
A Green Woodpecker was in a small tree behind the conifers at the Ned Hill chicane.
Usual small birds along by the farm included a Wren and my 2nd Little Owl.
Just a few Common and Herring Gulls seen.
Garden:
A flock of c20 Goldfinch flew past and later on a Buzzard was being mobbed a couple of Crows, way over Oats Royd - manged a picture of one of the Crows!
You must get a Little Owl every day John (and a Green Woody every other day)!!. Look like Stock Doves.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think Stock Dove also.
ReplyDeleteBlessed with Little Owl in Bradshaw.
They are my 'lifesaver' ..
Green Woody calls near home and oddly enough Ned Hill seems attractive to a pair.
Waders are my Achilles heel.
