No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Local Whoopers of the last 12 months

24 on Mixenden 4/2/14

1 juv with the 24

A good count for Mixenden

8 on Ogden 3/4/14

8 on Fly Flatts 17/2/13

6 in the Ogden fog 8/3/13

Two good years for local Whoopers moving through, wonder how many got through unseen.?

By mid morning a brisk W>4 had made light work of the fog and moved it on leaving a clear bright day with some sunshine.
Unfortunately a heavy schedule so no time for birding other than 2 quick dog walks up Foxhill park which produced a few LBB gulls heading >N up the Aire valley which coincided with several moving the same direction over the M621 late afternoon on our way back from Leeds.
Hopefully we,re in for a clear weekend so watch out for those Ospreys heading >N.
