Redcar Tarn (Keighley) - Sowerby Walk and Bradshaw Soil Hill etc.

We had a visit to make to Keighley Mobility this morning and we took the opportunity to have a quick look at Redcar Tarn.

Not many interesting Ducks , loads of Gulls, Canada Geese, Tufties and Mallard.

Afterwards I had a walk from St. Peter's Church, Sowerby Bridge to Fore Lane hoping to eyeball a Brambling but failing to.

Late afternoon I had a walk up to and over Soil Hill main path it was a tad too dark to go along the farm track etc so I retraced my steps back down Taylor Lane.

Dark when I got home.

Keighley Tarn:

A few pictures for your perusal.

3 Greylag Geese.

Two Gull looked vary Caspian Like and a nice Wigeon was the best of the Ducks.

Regarding the potential Caspian Gull - I don't get Gulls so I'm probably talking nonsense

and they are Herring Gulls.

Sowerby Walk:

Many Starlings and Goldfinch.

A few Blackbird and a Song Thrush in White Windows gardens.

Bradshaw - Soil Hill - Bradshaw:

(Soil Hill mega quiet along the top path).

A few Gulls.

3 Kestrel.

Little Owl.

Five Red Legged Partridge.

Pheasant.

Small flock of c40 Starlings.

Some very flighty Winter Thrushes seen at distance  from Taylor Lane:-

2 Mistle Thrush, 2 Redwing, Small flock of Fieldfare.
