LBB gulls on the move
A while since there has been a red sky at night, Foxhill
After a grey start the sun soon broke through leaving a pleasant but cool day with blue skies and sunshine for a change.
Foxhill at midday was much livelier with Greenfinches around the edge of the park, and looking east over Thornton several LBB gulls were heading >N up the Aire valley.
On the way back to work a female Sparrowhawk skimmed low and fast across the front of me down Chapel Lane.
Up to 8 Blue Tits were on the front garden feeders this morning which is an unusually high count for here.
