Littlemoor Park / Raggalds Flood

                                  Littlemoor Park

                                        A real boggy mess
                                     Brief glimpse of the sun

A bright start rapidly deteriorating by lunchtime to a strong SW>5 and heavy rain.
With 1 hour to spare between afternoon and evening visiting I had the decision between house work or birding so heres my bird report!
A walk around Littlemoor park with the dogs found it very quiet and extremely boggy providing just the usual Tits, Blackbirds, 2 Jays etc but after a walk up the road I found out why it was quiet, all the birds were in Denises garden. The garden was alive but failed to pick out any Brambling, hope Denise didnt wonder who the wierdo with the bins was peering over the gate.
Corporal Hill and Green Lane were poor and still no Little Owl whilst Raggalds flood held 2 pair of Mallard.

Lynda much improved tonight after they found that half the lack of Oxygen problem was a partial blockage in their tracheotomy pipe and a new pipe worked wonders - derrr !
