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.

Oxenhope

The gull man cometh, DCB arriving

A full overflow

White water

Oxenhope 1500-1630hrs Strong to near gale W>7 gusting 8. Drizzle with rain clouds passing to the east of us.

As expected, very quiet in the bleak conditions with no gulls coming in or attempting to roost at all. A few Goosander sheltered under the western banking wall and Goldeneye carried on diving oblivious to the conditions. A single cock pheasant was in the plantation.
