a bit of nicer weather forecast so went to Blacktoft Sands, but
Friday got a nice surprise when I got home from work with 6
Fieldfare in the garden, then on Saturday looking out of the
window were 5 Crows getting blown about along with another
birds which was a beauty a Harrier type and I'm 99% sure it was
a male Hen Harrier but with no pics to support it will stay at 99%,
it flew over or more like blown over Claremount towards Shibden
Park, today at 9.00am 3 Collared Dove flying fast overhead and just
behind them a Peregrine Falcon in fast flight over Claremount Hill
then veered off in the direction of Fly Flatts.
Blacktoft Sands was a productive day with 2 female Hen Harriers,
3 Marsh Harriers, 1 Kestrel, 1 Sparrowhawk, lots of waders and Snipe,
a beautiful Kingfisher that kept us entertained for an hour, 3 White
Wagtails, didn't stay late enough to see the Barn Owl but had a good
day none the less. Seen report today of Sort Eared Owl up Soil Hill
which I'm gutted I didn't get to see and Pinkies over Northowram.
