A crisp cold sunny day today.
We enjoyed our
exercise walk after lunch, going up
Taylor Lane along Percy Road down Ned Hill Lane and along Ingham Lane to home.
I took the bins
and camera but didn't dawdle really and didn't see a lot.
Later on I had a
solitary walk up the local fields where things were a tad better.
No Café stop today Boo
Hoo.
(Sue got into the car outside Tesco's this morning and said brrrrr it's 3 ° - "When a child is born" was playing on Ken Bruce on radio 2 at the time.
So, being the super funny wag "what I am" I told here that it wasn't 3 ° it was Johnny Mathis.
Hoo B.... Hoo.
Well.... I thought it was funny, you can't please some people can you?)
Birds:-
Exercise Walk:
C25 Starlings.
Kestrel.
A few small
Gulls.
Stock Dove.
Greenfinch.
Local Fields:-
Two Little Owl.
Two Stonechat, possibly 3.
12 Rook.
1 Black Headed
Gull.
Doing well for Stonechats John. Hope they get through this cold and frosty spell. Pair on Ringby Lane this morning with a Reed Bunt and 9 Mipits - but not a lot else.
ReplyDeleteNice up there I guess this morning. I rarely connect with Reed Buntings up there..dont know why. plenty of horses in the fields where my Stonechats were. So probably some grub for them with the horses breaking up the ground.I hear a Mipit now and again in the local fields but they take some finding..good to get 9. My tip for your next mega...a Shrike!!
