While I was waiting for the plasterer to get plastered this morning I had a bit of a sky watch from the garden.
The sun was trying to get out from behind some wispy cloud and all in all it was quite pleasant.
3 Buzzards and a Sparrowhawk were seen and as usual from this vantage point they were well distant.
2 of the Buzzards were soaring over Halifax / Kings Cross area the 3rd over Oats Royd area.
3 Greenfinch.
Mid-afternoon I had a walk along the fields and up Ned Hill, over a bit of Soil Hill and back via the west-east path above the quarry - a windy do!
A bit soon in March to expect much but always the chance of finding and 'early bird', and if you don't look, you'll never know - well that's what I think anyway.
Some great weather in the forecast, for a good few days after tomorrow, if you like it dry and sunny.
The Raggalds Flood looked like a puddle when I passed yesterday so I doubt it will turn up much this week.
Birds:-
Tough going today.
Herring Gull.
Kestrel, Little Owl.
5 Stock Doves.
Curlew, 2 Meadow Pipit. 3 Fieldfare not a lot else.
(Nothing on the Lower NK pond or on the little pond seen along the east path from the quarry today).
