An awful day today, constant drizzle blown along on a strong wind
I had my flu jab this morning so I was ready for the off.
I was trying to decided where to go in the murk, Soil Hill was definitely out.
In the end I decided on the short run down to Lightcliffe to walk up and down Coach Road in the dark.
I struggled to eek owt out from the gloom with most of the birds coming from 2 longish stints looking at the berry trees near the top of Coach Road, hoping for a repeat Brambling but no joy there.
The birds that were here were mostly at the back of the trees and difficult to photograph so that's at least 3 Boo-Hoos!
My second stint was while I waited for the mass of school vehicles to depart.
Birds:
Mistle Thrush, 10 + Blackbirds, Robin, Chaffinch.
2 Redwing, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker.
c30 Goldfinch.
2 Canada Geese over head.
A cold snap on the way later in the week, should bring a big influx of winter thrushes, at the very least.
Hopefully some rarer Duck species, a few Snow Buntings and the odd Lapland Bunting might come along - I wish!
