Happy Birthday To Me

My blog is 10 years old today. 

Time flies when you are enjoying yourself and it only seems like nine years and eleven  months since I started it!

Thanks for looking in 😁.

After lunch today I had a look up the local fields and this afternoon, following a WhatsApp message, I decided to go a Gulling down Lightcliffe.

Bradshaw Fields:

Bits of light drizzle and very windy here.

Birds:

Woodpigeon, Kestrel, Chaffinch, 2 Greenfinch.

2 Grey Partridge flushed early on silent wings.

A few small Gulls about.

Pheasant.

1 Fieldfare.

A pretty Dove in a barn - not sure if I've seen Dove here before.

Plenty of muck spread fields - but no takers today.

(Raggalds Flood is frozen over and nearly gone).

Coach Road:

Dull but quite calm and sheltered.

Good to chat with M St. who stopped in his car.

I scored a "double bogey" on the fairway I'm afraid - its them Gulls it is.

Birds:

2 Mistle Thrush, 2 Song Thrush, 3 Blackbird.

2 Wren, 5 Woodpigeon, 6 Goldfinch.

8 Long Tailed Tit,  A few Starling and House Sparrow.

C10 Gulls all airborne - no migrant from Reykjavik seen on the deck.

A Wagtail was seen - but that was on a happy dog!

Riddle:

A farmer walking his sheep to market was asked how many sheep he had.

The farmer replied:-

"When they are walking in a line there are two sheep in front of a sheep,

two sheep behind a sheep and and one in the middle"

How many sheep does the farmer have?

Answer lower down.

Bradshaw Fields:









Coach Road:





Riddle Answer:-

Three sheep.
