Started taking wet bread themselves
Not ready to attack the fat balls yet
The plans for an early evening trip to Fly Flatts tonight were scuppered when I ended up moving furniture for the daughter to her new abode at Triangle, Sowerby Bridge. It looks a haven for birds down there in the thick woodland valley , worth investigating as I dont know that area at all. Whilst I was down there a Peacock was walking about on the lawns but I dont suppose that I can tick that.
A trip to Halifax Asda this pm saw several Swifts moving over >NW and LBB gulls still moving >W. I keep expecting to see the White Stork over again but no such luck, probably because I always take the camera with me now.
Hopefully the weather will be a bit kinder in the morning and birds are in abundance.

Don't know if you know Bri but we saw a Peacock down at Triangle last week. If its the same site there is a mill pond at the back where there have been 3 Mute Swans since last winter. We see them as we pass on the way to Manchester (on left hand side) but the trees are well covered now so we can't see if they are still there (cant even see the pond from the road now)- but think they will still be there. There is another large mill pond just half a mile downstream and that's opposite the former Triangle pub.
Besides that there is some great habitat down there but no-one seems to watch it much!
Thanks for that Dave, will look into the Mute Swans, havent seen one for 2 years. The daughter has moved into an apartment in the old mill next to Claude Hellowell haulage and the peacock (Percy) wanders about the area from one of the big houses.
