A bright and sunny start to the morning clouding by 0945 hrs on a light SW>3 at 12 degrees.
Fieldfare were moving from the word go this morning over Foxhill with good numbers over and several showing in the bright sky to the east of me but too far away to count. Redwing and Woodpigeon were over but in lower numbers along with a few Blackbird and Chaffinch. A flock of around 18 Blue Tits were in a tree at the side of the park before moving off >SE.
Mid afternoon and a check of the Hawthorns down the Dailie fields to see if anything had been left behind produced just a few Redwing and Fieldfare plus several Blackbirds whilst a dlock of Mistle Thrush headed >SW along with 38 Woodpigs >S.
Just a single Buzzard today down in the station perched on a berry tree whilst a Sparrowhawk soared high above Hole Bottom. Two very distant wildfowl over Baildon heading >N up the Aire Valley looked diver like but zoomed in at 600 mm turned out to be a pair of Goosander.
Not looking vis miggable in the morning with some heavy rain forecast but a light wind back from the east.
