Back Down To Earth

One Lapwing over Raggalds Pond. Pr Oystercatcher on Soil Hell which it was in a  cold East wind.  Also a Kestrel, Greenfinch, Chaffinch & Pied Wagtail seen.

I tried for a follow up Spotted Flycatcher but couldn't even find the previous one and yet again no Tree Pipit in the Ogden area. A few Goldfinch, 1 Whitethroat, couple Blackcap, Chiffchaff, 2 Jay were here also a GSW.

Hunter Hill bottom coughed up a pr Red-legged Partridge, 2 Reed Bunting and a Buzzard being harassed by Jim Crow.
Mixenden Res was ultra boring.


When I went into the back yard at home this Woodpigeon sat staring me for a couple of minutes without fear before casually dropping onto the food provided by Mr & Mrs DP next door. It hung around for longer just peering at me before it was eventually joined presumably by it's mate. They then started to tuck in; perhaps they have young just over the fence.
