NW corner looking south
Water cascade down ihto a usually covered inlet
Water is usually up to the trees on the left
Probably as low as you,ll ever see it
West bank, again water usually up to the bushes
Early morning sun
Water getting too distant for wildfowl photos now.
More shoreline than Heysham Head.
Tranquil scene from the prom.
A bright start to the morning and less wind than yesterday but a substantial drop in temperature.
Woodpigeons were coming over in good numbers early on as well as a few small flocks of Fieldfare but this petered out but 0930hrs as the skies darkened.
A new species for the garage list when 3 Cormorants came over heading >S but despite steaming into the garage for the camera at record pace the small camera would,nt focus fast enough to get them before they disappeared behind the buildings.
By lunch time the rains had come, no change there, the lady next door to us says she always takes her washing in when she knows I,m on my way home from work, so a wet dog walk and no birds other than the Foxhill park Common gulls.
A couple of good reports from HC at Oxenhope this morning with a Grey Plover over and a little later on 2 Whooper Swans heading towards Ogden but although I grapevined this I did,nt here of anyone checking them out. Thanks for the up to date reports Howard.

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.
