Week to Forget

  Took a walk around Swalesmoor & Shibden Valley on
  Sunday and it seemed like 3 hours of my life wasted as
  it gruesomely quiet, well saying quiet might not be the
  right word as the wildlife was about as it was heard or
  at a far distance, my garden was actually busier with birds.

  Swalesmoor had 4 Meadow Pipit and 8 Grey Partridge,
  bottom of Ringby Lane had House Sparrows, Goldfinch,
  and Chaffinch and a Greater Spotted Woodpecker heard
  but not seen, but the top of Hag Lane was busy with birds
  but hard to see as it became very dark, Wren, Dunnock,
  Blackbird, 8 Bullfinch and a flock of LTT'S were about,
  4 Redwing and 2 Fieldfare were in the distance, some
  Greylag Geese also on the walk around, and that my
  friends was about it, a very soul destroying walk.

  Garden had 30+ Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Collared Dove,
  Starlings, Great & Blue Tit, Stock Dove and a Sparrowhawk
  flypast, a Deer was seen on a walk later in the week.
  Oh I forgot also a few Robin seen.
