Harewood Trip

 Had a trip to Collingham and Harewood on Saturday
 but very quiet up until 11.00 am when the Red Kites
 started to wake up at last but by then the sunshine
 had gone and the lighting was very poor, Red Kite,
 Yellowhammer and Song Thrush is all that was seen
  and Red Deer at a distance. Thank you to Roy. H for
 being my taxi for the day.

 Garden had Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Sparrowhawk,
 Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Linnet, Dunnock and Blue Tits.

Friday Ogden Walk

 Actually managed to get out & about the last
 couple of days, Friday Took a walk around Ogden
 and ended up being a half decent day after a good
 old slog around the moors and nearly breaking my
 neck climbing over a gate, oh the joys.

 First creature I seen was what I believe to be a
 Southern Migrant Hawker Dragonfly, was pleased
 with that as Ive never seen one that colour before a
 lovely bright yellow, I was watching a Swift and the
 Swallows darting about when out of the corner of my
 eye a Kestrel with its prey came flying past but too
 quick to get my camera ready, a few LBB gulls were
 flying about, a walk up towards the windmills produced
 6 Stonechat and 8 Meadow Pipit, down to the stream I
 went and seen a couple of birds fly into the bushes,
 couldn't quite make out what they were but looked
 interesting further down going towards the lake was a
 Dipper about 6 Wrens and 3 Robins.
