Who says shopping does,nt pay. Sainsburys car park.

With a full program today and no birding time it was lucky we did our weekly shop at Sainsburys Halifax.
I,ve been monitoring the Rowan trees there for several weeks with just the odd Mistle Thrush and Blackbirds but today as I drove into the car park I could see plenty activity around the trees.
Most important thing first was get the shopping done, or at least thats what Lynda said, and whilst inside the store a message from Vicky J via the grapevine reporting Redwings out in the car park.
With the trolley in top gear burning rubber around the aisles the shopping was soon done and out in the car park, camera in hand. It would be safer standing in the fast lane of the M62 than trying to avoid cars and kamikaze women with trolleys whilst taking photos.
                                                        Everything was very mobile moving around from tree to tree
but splendid to see so many Mistle and Song Thrush, Redwings, Blackbirds and at least 6 male Bullfinch. Just the Waxwings were missing but they sounded content with Pellon Lane.
Well done to Vicky Johnson for checking berry trees in the area over the last few days and getting the reports in.
