Rodley Trip


   Took a trip out to Rodley NR today and also a quick visit to
   Adel Dam and Eccup, bumped into CT and Jan at Rodley and
   had a bit of a laugh especially when Jan spotted a Little Owl at the bottom of a Dry Stone wall which turned out to be a
   clump of mud.
    I was hoping to see the spotted Crake but no joy but still
   there was plenty to see.

   Rodley-:
                Little Egret, Little Grebe, Cormorant, Snipe, Gadwall,
    Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Sparrowhawk, GS Woodpecker,
    Linnet, Kingfisher, Shoveller, Coot, Moorhen, Mute Swan,
    Greenfinch, and what looked like a Redstart but not 100%,
    Grey Heron, Stock Dove, Grey Wagtail.
   Adel Dam-:
                     Juvenile Mandarin Ducks, GS Woodpecker,
   Jay, Nuthatch, Wren, Red Kite, no sign of the Otters.
   Red Kite, Wigeon and Tufted Duck, Treecreeper at Eccup.
   Garden-:
                Gold and Greenfinch, Collared Dove, Chaffinch & Bats.

   I then decided to use my sat-nav to get home and ended up in
   bloody Selby.
