The usual stuff today, a sit in the garden then a brisk walk along the Thornton Cycle Track to the Tunnel and back and later a meander up the local fields.
Garden:
Raptors seemed to be out and about this morning with 3 Buzzard seen over Oats Royd and another Raptor probably a Sparrowhawk approaching me from Oats Royd very high.
I had the 'Sparrowhawk' in the bins buy the problem with the clear blue sky is that as soon as I went for the camera I could not relocate the bird.
Late evening 11 Long Tailed Tit dropped into our beech hedge - a garden tick.
Thornton Cycle Track:
3 Great Spotted Woodpeckers called at different points - none seen.
6 Lesser Black-backed Gulls passed by.
Local Fields:
8 Magpie, 2 Little Owl, Kestrel.
A Green Woodpecker called loudly as it flushed from nearly underfoot!
I must have got its mug shot (as it undulated away) in the one photo that I took, but It's a bit like "Where's Wally" - lots of photo to look through but I cannot see the Pecker.
3 Common and 2 Black Headed Gull with a few Large Gulls over.
Peregrine seen elsewhere.
