We enjoyed a trip out to do some shopping in Skipton this morning.
We did a quick lap of a flipping freezing Skipton woods (mostly in the shade).
Walking through Skipton, shopping, was quite pleasant - well the weather was quite pleasant - I don't get shopping.
The fields near Connonley were flooded but birds were very distant making use of the waterlogged areas.
We stopped the car next to the nearest water (still a long way off) to take a few photos.
Later this afternoon I had another cold walk along the local fields, through the farms and back.
Birds:-
Skipton Area:
Curlew, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Mute Swan, Grey Wagtail.
Canada Geese, Greylag Geese.
5 or so singing / calling Nuthatch.
Usual Woodland species but no Woodpecker seen or heard.
'Thousands' of Gulls throughout the many flooded fields seen in passing.
Local:
1 Little Owl.
4 Red Legged Partridge.
4 Stock Dove.
Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Bullfinch, Goldfinch.
