It was another beautiful autumn morning with bright blue skies.
Cold with some frost, a great day for a walk.
I had a stroll up to the Raggalds to check the flood (frozen and on the wain ) along Percy Rd and down Taylor Lane.
Taylor Lane was dangerously frozen in places.
After lunch I had a quick walk up my local fields before we took Abi to a party at Adrenaline Trampoline Park, Heckmondwike.
Birds:-
Raggalds Walk:
c40 Common Gulls ( 18, 7, 12).
2 Stock Dove.
20 Lapwing.
2 Kestrel.
Mistle Thrush.
Little Owl.
2 Pied Wagtail.
Green Woodpecker over Bradshaw Lane.
Great Spotted Woodpecker flew from trees near our house.
Local Fields:-
Quiet.
Four Grey Partridge flushed early (hope the other 3? are still ok).
Usual gang of Crows included at least 5 Rooks.
A Large bird possibly a Raptor was high circling over the road to Fly Flats that I picked up looking west from Bradshaw Fields was interesting but tooooooo far for my large zoom camera to pick up - just a black dot on one of 10 speculative photos that I took.
