I don't know why I insist on twitching days after the event, but sometimes life gets in the way of birding.
I had a late look-see for NK and DJS recent 'specials' near Ogden Golf Course this morning - a real scorcher with some water coming from places in my body I didn't know existed.
It was good to see an amazingly cool looking P.S. who came over the hill , as I arrived at Twitch-ville.
I enjoyed a longish chat before continuing the search - to no avail.
No time to do the water circuit today with Abi with us all week.
I had a cursory look from the promenade.
Later, as I went to answer a call of nature under a tree, a Barn Owl suddenly appeared.
Wish I'd have seen it - I would have stayed clear.
Late afternoon we took Emma and Abi down Shibden Park, 5 Must Swan and the usual crew here.
Birds:
Ogden Water:
Curlew on the far bank - at least 4 was all I could say.
Great Crested Grebe.
Bullfinch in the car park bushes.
Golf Course Area:
Smashing habitat.
3 Linnet, Willow Warbler, Goldfinch.
Herring Gull overhead.
3 Pheasant.
3 Jay.
(A Raven was in the tress opposite our house this morning - the resident Carrion Crows were not happy bunnies).
