The nights are drawing in early now that the clocks have gone back.
It's dark around 5pm now.
Thornton Cycle Track.
A breezy , mild cloudy morning and our usual exercise walk along the Thornton cycle track to the Queensbury tunnel and back.
Many, many dogs about today with owners in tow.
Birds:-
1 Sparrowhawk mobbed by 2 crows.
15 Fieldfare > S
1 Great Spotted Woodpecker.
5 Mistle Thrush.
Long Tailed Tit.
Bullfinch and a few others.
The Raggalds NOT flood held one Lapwing as we went past in the car.
Bradshaw Fields:-
Bright and breezy with some good timing on my part, missing the rain.
I could not locate either Little Owl today.
The wind had a bit of east in it which would move the Owl(s) from their normal sheltered wall.
Birds:-
A Kestrel (or maybe two) was/were seen several times.
12 or so Common Gulls in distant fields.
The usual Crow family members.(No Raven)
Top of the Shop, though, were 2 Stonechat spotted on my return to "Carpet Mick's" house.
One birds was doing a sky dance.
A good bird for here and a very pleasing change from the usual.
