A Few More Pics
A few more pics from Sunday, also report of Red Kite
flying towards Fly Flatts, out of area in Low Moor, Bradford,
from last week 20 or more Swallows with young sat on window
sills along New Works Rd near the train station, they've all moved
on now as none seen today, also near the same area I came across a
Blue Tits nest in a ashtray outside a flat complex only 4 foot high and
chicks calling for food, they also fledged successfully but how I do
not know. Today I had a Sparrowhawk attack in the garden after the
Goldfinch but it wasn't successful this time.

Cracking Day Out
Decided to venture out for the day yesterday to North Cave
and then to Bempton Cliffs and what a fantastic day it was,
the highlight being a family of Stoats playing in a field it was
absolutely amazing but trying to get a decent photograph was
a nightmare as everything is done at 100mph, believe it or not
the first bird I saw at North Cave was a Marsh Harrier it came
close as well but bloody settings were all wrong on the camera,
no surprise there then but it was still great to see, I bumped into
an old friend but didn't realise it was him until after an hour of
speaking as he's lost that much weight after a bad illness, it was
great to see him back out on his rounds again although I was a
little bit embarrassed and he knows his stuff on nature so its always
nice to have his knowledge, had him laughing when I laid down to
take a photograph and broke my bloody binoculars. Linford is his
name, Birdwatching is his game, such a nice fella.
Bempton was good but much too busy for my liking, though there
were plenty of friendly people about instead of the usual arrogant ones.
Highlight here was the Lesser Whitethroat for me but it decided to
scarper just as I was focusing on it, Hobby was also seen but not by me.
Locally Ive had plenty of the regular birds on the feeders feeding there
young and the odd mammals popping up now and again.
