Abi with us today and we had a visit to White Windows.
Entry to the care home is ok now as long as we have a negative Covid test, so while the chemicals were deciding which way to vote, I had a nosy about the grounds.
On the way a Goosander was seen from the car as we crossed Sowerby Bridge, Bridge.
Lots of potential here with plenty of trees and some good berries showing.
Not a lot on offer this morning through with a few Long Tailed Tit and a Pied Wagtail being of interest.
A Peregrine Falcon was seen elsewhere.
After some UNO games, this afternoon, I managed to slope off to Oxenhope ,while the ladies did some baking - Yum-Yum.
Leeming:-
I could really do with visiting some Calderdale Reservoirs (other than Ogden of course) however I was content with a pleasant afternoon saunter around one of my favourite 'local' reservoirs being just 5 miles from home, compared to White Holme Res , another favourite but which is over 15 miles away.
Birds:-
Loads of Gulls on the ironwork and on the water - I took quite a few photos to scan through later on - C140 Gulls in total.
6 (3 Drake) Tufted Duck.
2 Cormorant.
2 Goldcrest, Bullfinch, Chaffinch and a good few other small bird species.
4 separate Kestrel sightings although I doubt there were 4 different birds.
Great Spotted Woodpecker, airborne, distant.
Heron.
No migrant / winter Ducks which was a pity.
