Park Lane Bonanza



        Woke up today with the intention of going to Rodley NR
        and Adel Dam but first I thought I'd go have a look for
        the Brambling that had been spotted at Park Lane, on the
        way up there I spotted 20+ Lapwing in the trailer park field.
        When I got there DP was already scouting for the Brambling
        and he'd managed to see a couple and then so did I and then a
        GSW, what a good start to the day and it got even better only
        downfall was that it's a bit dark for photography but still great
        to see the amount of activity up there so Rodley and Adel were
        forgotten about, DP then said its a shame there's no Treecreeper
        and low and behold 2 mins later one showed up which made his
        day and then a Nuthatch, a white headed Blackbird and a white
        Crow, the lady of the house then came out to see us and brought
        with her a cup of coffee for me and DP which was much needed
        and appreciated, she was a lovely lady named Denise and told us
        about all the wildlife that turns up in her garden, I was amazed.

        28 species were seen today in Denise's garden and the field across
        the road and there may be some that I've forgotten, overall it was a
        fantastic morning's birding, poop for photography but A+ for spotting.

        Blackbird, Nuthatch, Wren, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Jay,
        Starling, Crow, Jackdaw, Magpie, Collared Dove, Stock Dove,
        Brambling, Treecreeper, Redwing, Greenfinch, BH Gull, Lapwing,
        Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Great Tit, GSW, House Sparrow, Herring Gull,
        Mistle Thrush, Robin, Woodpigeon,  1 warbler type bird ?
