Redcar Tarn:
Lunch out with friends at Stephen Smith's Garden centre at Harden today was followed by a short detour to Redcar Tarn, Keighley, on our way home.
A truly miserable day and our arrival at the tarn coincided with a torrential downpour driven on by a near gale force wind - it's very high here.
Luckily my arrival also coincided with Sue receiving a phone call from one of her friends, so she could have a good natter, while I got wet!
I put my waterproofs on and had a short walk about, but only half way around.
KM was seen as I arrived back at the car, He had the good sense to park sideways on and look at the birds through the bins from the car.
A good few Gulls here, plenty of Sub-adult Gulls that are hard for me to ID with any confidence.
In weather like this a lengthy study of a particular bird isn't an option.
I took a good few photos so I could get thoroughly confused at my leisure later.
Local Fields:
Late afternoon and the rain packed in, the sun came out but the gale remained as I headed up the local fields for a short walk.
