A typical Monday

Just to rub the weekends weather in today was wall to wall sunshine and clear blue skies with a light  S > 4 which is typical for a Monday.
Raggalds flood was again void of birds whilst around 80 Lapwings were on the Pit Lane football pitch.
A hospital appointment with Lynda this afternoon meant a trip to the Yorkshire clinic at Bingley and its amazing how the bird life changes a few miles from here. Cullingworth was alive with gulls overhead and around 300 in the usual fields and from there to Bingley the skies were active with gulls, corvids, Fieldfare and Redwing as well as counting 3 separate Sparrowhawks over St Ives and 4 Kestrels on route.
The grounds of the clinic had Gold and Greenfinch , Blackbirds and Song Thrushes. Its a different world away from here, I saw more birds today in a 20 minute drive than I,ve seen in the last month in my area.
I also just missed a skein of Pinkies at 1330 hrs reported over Whetstone Gate, SR,( B.O.G.) I was just parking up in the hospital grounds at that time.
