St. Ives:
A walk with friends at Bingley St. Ives this morning.
The usual walk around most of the perimeter on a breezy, cloudy dry day.
Birds:-
Buzzard in flight as we approached St. Ives seen from the car.
Coal Tit, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Tufted Duck, Mute Swan, Mallard, Black Headed Gull, Moorhen, Mistle Thrush.
Bradshaw - Holdsworth and back.
I had a local birding walk later in the afternoon down to Holdsworth and back.
Quite windy again, spoiling things a bit on my leisurely few hours stroll.
Birds:-
2 Greenfinch, 3 Long Tailed Tit.
A Wagtail species overhead called.
Canada Goose, 3 Herring Gull, 2 Common Gull.
2 Redwing, 2 Mistle Thrush, 3 Stock Dove.
2 Collard Dove, Green Woodpecker (Heard).
Kestrel.
A distant Little Owl that took 1/2 hour to locate!
A second Green Woodpecker called as I was cleaning me boots at home.
You might call today a bog roll cardboard insert sort of day, rather than the full roll!
Local birding proving tough in winter.
