A stroll to look at the fast disappearing Raggalds Flood this morning was followed by a walk up Percy Rd and down Taylor Lane to home.
A pleasant outing in the sunshine.
After lunch I had a drive down to Lightcliffe and walked down Coach Road then left past Sefton Avenue to check out the trees there for Brambling.
On my way back up Coach Road I took a very fortuitous detour along the good path above the Golf Course.
There are many berry bushes and trees here and after sometime checking out the Bullfinch I thought I had a Brambling but it vamoosed before I could make sure it wasn't a Chaffinch.
A bit later I did get a bit better view and a poor photo of a Brambling.
I don't see many Brambling so I was well chuffed.
Birds:-
Raggalds Flood etc.
Just the usual small Gull contingent although, checking the photos tonight, one Gull looks 'out of place'.
The eye and the bill look a bit Med Hull-ish but the photo could be distorting the image and it's probably a Black Headed -see photos.
Too much black in primary feathers I guess!!
3 Stock Dove, 3 Pied Wagtail, Kestrel, Pheasant and 3 Meadow Pipit along the walk.
Coach Road:
Very, very quiet today.
Brambling.
2 Nuthatch, 6 Long Tailed Tit.
1 Great Spotted Woodpecker (Heard).
5 Bullfinch feeding in a Rowan Tree - but there were probably a lot more going by their quiet call.
15 Goldfinch, Chaffinch, 10+ Blackbird.
(A few photies need more looking at)
