An outing with terrible timing this afternoon, when wrongly, I thought the worst of the weather had passed through.
I had a look at Raggalds Flood before walking up Percy Rd to Soil Hill.
Heavy, persistent rain for company for nearly all of the outing.
Even my comfy-down cagoule looked a bit sorry for itself.
Nearing home the weather improved - typical!
Birds:-
Raggalds Flood:
Good to see a few Mallard here - they might entice something down.
Elsewhere:
Herring Gull, Common Gull.
Soil Hill was difficult - I waited about a good while hoping the rain would ease but it didn't.
I just did a stroll up the main track to the quarry, but I managed to see a Snipe and c10 Meadow Pippit, all flushed as I walked along.
A Pheasant flushed from underfoot near the Taylor Lane midden.
Sue mentioned that there were c30 Lapwing near the trailer field about 1 mile SE of Queensbury, when she passed this afternoon.
Just manged a few poor photos.
