A beautiful warm and sunny day today with some reading and sky watching this morning in the garden bringing just a Pied Wagtail over the house!!
2 Geese were very, very high over White Windows Sowerby Bridge this a.m.
A lucky photo caught them as 'specks' - Canada Geese I think?
A Kestrel was seen in Bradshaw on our way there.
We took Emma to MacDonald's for lunch and afterwards Sue dropped me at Ogden, late this afternoon, so I could enjoy a birding walk home.
(Pity no one informed the birds!!).
Still a lovely day for a walk.
Birds:-
Ogden:
Drake Tufted Duck, Kestrel.
Gulls:
Usual Gull species on the water as far as I could tell.
A would be Yellow Legged Gull is a Lesser Black-backed Gull in bright light I think?
Something flushed the lot - but I did not see what!
Usual small birds around the circuit.
Ogden to Bradshaw (Via Soil Hill Main Track).
I gave Ned Hill Track a miss today, with dogs and dog walkers there.
Very, very quiet again, a typical Mid October outing for me it would seem.
A few Gulls in the fields and a calling Meadow Pipit (not seen) along Soil Hill Track.
A Buzzard was on a very distant pylon - seen from Bradshaw Lane.
A potential large Raptor was way, way off high over Queensbury, seen from Taylor Lane top, was soon lost in the sky!
It shows as a black pin-prick on my photo alas.
