Amazing skies on the way to work this morning
Black Dyke chimney back lit.
Foxhill park Common gulls midday
The small runty type Common gull back for a 4th year.
Hazy moon on the way home from work this evening.
A cracking start to the day with a brilliant sky as I walked to work but by the time I could get to a good vantage point it had gone. These late autumn sunrises last only minutes going from red to yellow before they are lost.
What will be the last few Woodpigeons were heading south this morning unless the weather turns very cold when others will move to a warmer climate.
Common gulls are resident in Foxhill park now with a count of around 70 each morning before they head off to the local fields to feed leaving around a dozen which stop in the park through out the day.
The small Common gull is back for the 4th year running standing out from the rest being much smaller and never getting the full winter head streaks.
Raggalds Flood held 15 Mallard, 1 Canada goose and around 30 small gulls midday.
