Duck ! Mallard low overhead
One of several Skylarks
1 of 2 Grey Partridge
Up to 50 Meadow Pipits and 20 Linnets mixed in.
Good to get the Linnets back
Raggalds Flood Pied Wagtail
A misty hill at 1630hrs with a cool E>5.
Nice to get Linnets back on the hill mixed in with a good flock of Meadow Pipits which all seemed to favour
the NE end .
Two male Wheatear were in the farm field beyond the trig point whilst 2 Grey Partridge flushed and headed down the hill.
Around 15 Skylarks were present along with 2pr Lapwings and a drake Mallard flew low overhead towards Mixenden Reservoir.
Raggalds Flood water has receded slightly today with just 2 Lapwings, 1 Pied Wagtail and a female Wheatear present.
0900hrs kick off at Leeds tomorrow so up and off early doors, may catch an early rising Red Kite.
