Bradshaw Fields - Sunday and Monday Evenings

Sunday Evening.

The rain finally packed it's bags and left at 7:30 ish and I had a walk through the wet reeds and grass along the fields paths - but only to East Croft.

The rain had left some murky stuff draped on Swalesmoor Hills.

A few birds were on offer which helped pass the time quite nicely really.

Birds:-

A Kestrel  (with prominent face markings) was enjoying 'high tea' perched on a telegraph pole.

A Heron flew past Ward's View.

A Pheasant was in Ward's View garden.

A couple of Meadow Pipits were heard.

2 Little Owls called and also a Red Legged Partridge called. 

4 Stock Dove flew past and landed behind a far wall.

2 Swallow were low over the fields.

10 or so, Lesser Black-backed Gull, in two's, flew ENE.

and...

A couple of Blackbirds, The Jackdaw Gang and a few Crows completed my birding this evening.


Monday Evening:

Another  long day with a drive to Halifax, then Copley, then home then over to Wakefield and back again - not my idea of fun at all!

Late evening I managed to slope off up the local fields.

Thunderstorms were evident over Halifax - seen from the garden - did not reach me while I was out and about, although I donned me waterproofs and wellies so I could have an internal sauna on my walk up the local fields.

Birds:-

A Buzzard called as I sat in the garden.

The local fields had a very nice Little Owl.
Also...
Swallow, a few Lesser Black-backed Gulls, 1 Black Headed Gull, 7 Mistle Thrush and a Pheasant.
c10 Goldfinch on a wire with a Linnet possibly.
