A strange misty, then sunny, then misty again, sort of morning where I had a short sky watch from the garden.
Colder today I thought.
This afternoon we had a visit to make to Sowerby Bridge and afterwards, we took the opportunity to have a very quick look at Ringstone Reservoir.
After a visit to Kelham Farm shop I checked on Raggalds Flood and late afternoon I had a walk in a raw breeze up the local fields... brrrrr.
Birds:
Garden:
Two skeins of Pink Footed Geese, both West this morning.
One skein of 67 Geese was seen as it passed near our house, the second skein, remained unseen as the Geese called flying through the mist.
Ringstone Reservoir:
I just scanned from the reservoir wall, and what birds were here, were mostly in the distant north field.
Just Gulls on the water, alas.
Usual Lapwing and Smaller Gulls ???? but I was nowhere near enough to them, to rule out a mega.
Just one Herring Gull stood out on the distant photos.
One or two odd ball looking Gulls but that is probably poor picture quality at the distance zoom.
Lots of Crows on the embankment on the grass next to the reservoir wall
A Dead Rat was by the roadside.
Raggalds Flood:
50 Lapwing and 1 Starling.
Local Fields:
Mistle Thrush.
2 Little Owl (one with a different call to my usual one heard).
