Rambling bart 'B' and Raggalds Drip

I took a drive down to Coach Road, Lightcliffe this afternoon on the look out for a Chaffinch look alike.
A windy mostly dull outing but it stayed dry.
Plenty of the regular birds flitting about here but most were difficult to see / photograph in the dark tree canopy.
The birds that were 'out in the open' were very distant high in trees.
A longish stint near Sefton Drive / Crescent looking through the very mobile Chaffinch flock, found ..... lots of Chaffinch.
Nothing out of the ordinary today - a typical November outing.

Birds:-

A scattering of Thrushes included c6 Redwing, a Fieldfare and a Mistle Thrush.
3 Nuthatch.
c20 Chaffinch.
A Great Spotted Woodpecker called (unseen) near Sefton Drive, but there were several Starlings on the pylon here, so it could possible have been Rory Bremner Starling - playing silly games.

I had a walk up to the Raggalds late morning where the water is nearly non-existent.
A  Pied Wagtail flushed from the nearby pool of water and a Kestrel was seen on the way up.
Other than that just a few Starlings and small Gulls about.
