Bradshaw Fields

Another wet and windy day today.

Aldi, Clayton, this morning and the car park was chock-a-block.

Mid-afternoon I risked a walk up the local fields.

The walled path after 'Ward's View" is more like a river  (or moat like a river) than a path and on the TV news this evening was some sad scenes of massive flooding.

A couple of Raptors ,very distant (unfortunately) were sparring with each other.

I think the Raptors were A Buzzard  and a Peregrine Falcon ( but I could be wrong on both counts - see what you think!).

The photo, at this distance, is very poor.

A large Owl species left a delipidated barn as I approached but it was gone before I got anything on it.

The logical ID would be Barn Owl but it looked 'too brown', a bit bigger maybe and more 'agile' in flight... so who knows.
