A stormy sunrise over Black Dyke.
A blustery start to the day then the wind dropped slightly leaving a dry, half decent day.
More Waxwing reports today getting nearer to our area with a grapevine report of 25 at Huddersfield and reports this evening on Birdguides of 4 West Yorkshire sights, the nearest being 30 outside the Midland Hotel at Ilkley which is an annual hotspot , usually in the big car park behind WH Smiths.
On the home front, a flock of 38 Redwing and 2 Fieldfare flew >S over Chapel Lane this morning at 0735 and 4 Pied Wagtails were knocking about Foxhill park at midday.
A decent forecast so far for the weekend if they dont change their minds so we should turn something up.

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.
