A very sad day today with a funeral to attend which seemed to occupy most of the day in one way or another,
I managed a very short sky watch from the garden this morning with a few bits seen but all terribly distant, south of me over Halifax somewhere.
Some Crows were making a right old racket for a good while, from the large trees opposite our house.
A bird call that I could not ID and that was too distant for my -Merlin- app to pick up seemed to be the cause of the commotion.
The call sounded , periodically, like a muffled road drill followed by a hen-like slow cluck!!
It was not the usual Magpie call but somehow I'm thinking that is what it must have been.
A large 'potential' Raptor was way off but at this distance, was a dot!
After tea(ish) I had a walk along the local field path, breezy cool but dry and bright.
