Looking down the Dailies to Queensbury triangular
railway station. The triangle where the tracks went
can be seen by the trees.
Tracks to Clayton, Thornton and Holmefield.
East over the station to beyond Pateley Bridge.
Looking over smoky Bradford.
This very pale, well speckled Staring had me going .
It stood out from the rest even with no optics
The overnight frost and cold east wind livened things up slightly today with around 80 Woodpigeons over >S first light along with a smidging of Mipits and 3 Skylark.
Dinner time in Foxhill park produced 2 Cormorant over high and >N and a single Jay high and >W.
With high expectations of Pinkies to the east I dashed to the top of the Dailies only to find several LBB gulls heading >N up the air valley but 3 hours later a text from HC reported 130 Pinkies over Yeadon airport >E, just where I had been watching earlier.
Thanks for the text Compo.

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.
