Lots of snow in Bradshaw this morning with an accompanying harsh strong north wind, chilling your bones.
After some snow shovelling with Chris next door (and a shovel) we went to pick up Emma from White Windows.
No snow at Strawberry Bridge - just some slush!
After lunch I enjoyed a half hour walk through the local snow fields hoping for a pretty photo of a Little Owl in the snow - but it remained unseen.
Not many birds about, which was not a surprise.
Birds:-
Robin, Dunnock, Starlings, Blackbird.
Mistle Thrush, Wren.
A Sparrowhawk was airborne struggling against the wind.
A bird flushed, flew awkwardly a short distance before landing out of sight.
Its tail was 'a mess' and it looked suspiciously like a Moorhen, but I've not seen on up here before.
Also. a really odd call, from a bird that I failed to see, sounded very much like a Sandwich Tern - but no doubt it wasn't!
What it was - I've no idea.
