Gamekeepers burning Baildon Moor
Viewed from Foxhill Park
Raggalds Flood ex birding spot.
Nice sky over Pellon Lane this evening
Another belter of a day with sunshine and blue skies, this will probably last till the weekend!!
Plenty LBBs moving >N up the Aire valley at midday and the unusual sighting of 4 Skylarks moving around Foxhill park.
Going by several reports today Curlews are now well established on the local moors as well as Oystercatchers, a sure sign of spring around the corner.
A check on Raggalds flood at lunch time found it yet again void of bird life other than corvids, hard to understand why this place has suddenly gone off the birding map even though conditions are perfect.
Plenty fires going over Baildon Moor today, dont know if this is a productive thing or not but obviously to do with the Grouse shooting.
Had to go down to the vets from work just in time to see the sun drop below the horizon still leaving a beautiful blue sky.

NOTE !!
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.
