Bradshaw - Soil Hill etc

A cold icy day again today but bright and sunny for a lot of it.

I had a visit to make to B&Q this morning to get some G9 led lights.

It might be me but I find that there so many different light bulbs nowadays - they are really confusing and expensive. I had a cupboard full of all sorts of them but you can be sure that the one that fails isn't in the cupboard , when you look for it in the first place, but somehow, miraculously, they turn up just after you've bought some more.

Anyway at least I got to see the Peregrine down there.

This afternoon I had a walk up Taylor Lane, over Soil Hill Summit, down Ned Hill Road and through the farms to home.

Nothing on the deck on Soil Hill summit and just 2 Common Gulls flew past as I was eyeballing the tundra hoping for a S.B. or L.B.

It was pleasing to see 7 Meadow Pipits on the west sloping fields as I left the hill - they were very very flighty.

It looks like I'll wake up to a garden full of snow tomorrow - hopefully it will melt before teatime.

Birds:-

Peregrine Falcon - Dean Clough Chimney.

2 Raven.

Heron.

7 Meadow Pipit.

2 Stock Dove.

Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Goldfinch.

Kestrel.

3 Starling.

Little Owl.

Plus a few others.
