Some garden tidying this morning to get ready for spring.
Tons of moss on the flower beds this year, but the garden wall that normally puts its moss coat on over winter, did not have any this time.
I had my "usual" outing this afternoon with a walk across the Bradshaw fields to Ogden.
I did most of the circuit of the water before sloping off east through the woods to Back Lane.
I retraced my steps to home.
It was pretty dull (in more ways than one) and very windy this afternoon.
Bradshaw Fields:-
55 Common Gull.
1 Herring Gull.
Black Headed Gull.
2 Stock Dove.
2 Buzzard sightings.
3 Greenfinch.
Ogden:
Quiet.
C40 Small Gulls.
2 more Buzzard sightings.
Coat Tits and Goldcrest.
Plus a few others.
Back Lane:
20 Lapwing.
1 Curlew.
c30 Starling.
Plenty of Greenfinch calls heard throughout.
4 Buzzards sightings in total but not sure how many Buzzards.
From the garden late evening:-
Two further? Buzzard calling over Oats Royd, just before dark and a tight circle of c40 Gulls moved slowly together NE ish.
Unusual for me to see this Gull formation... I cannot think there would be any insect swarms this time of year?
