A cold but beautiful crisp day today and we enjoyed a walk with friends around St, Ives park near Bingley late morning.
Not a birding outing but we did take a look at the birds around the Coppice Pond.
Lunch was at Stephen Smith's garden centre, where a sandwich, stuffed full of Turkey with some roast taties and a small pig in blanket was on offer – yum – yum.
Late p.m. I had a very short birding walk up the local fields, just before dusk.
Birds:-
St Ives:
c12 Goosander, spread far and wide along the pond, ducking and diving were difficult to count accurately.
Heron, Black Headed Gull, 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Moorhen.
A 'squabbling grunt' of Mute Swan that were being fed bread which I doubt would be good for them.
Local Walk:
Mistle Thrush, Little Owl.
Family of 4 Wren chasing about.
