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.

Roper Lane

Looking west towards Withens Gap

Black clouds approaching, an end to the sun.

An attrocious day today as expected with sunshine , torrential showers and strong to gale force W>7.
A 15 minute watch this evening from Roper Lane at last light produced several Fieldfare moving in all directions but mainly ending up heading for the Ogden plantation to roost.
Several LBBs , Common and Black Headed gulls headed east probably making for Eccup whilst a few headed >NW towards Thornton Moor.
Hundreds of Jackdaws were feeding on the hillside before setting off for their roost at Wilsden and Hewenden.
