Took a trip out yesterday to Rodley & Adel Dam but
was surprised how quiet it was at both reserves, Hides
weren't open at Rodley and Adel seemed to be in
disrepair it looked sad which was disappointing.
Buzzard, Marsh Harrier, Sparrowhawk were seen
by the river and Little Grebe on main lake at Rodley
and also 3 Cormorant. Adel had 3 Kingfishers flying
over the lake and a distant Heron and a Blackcap in
berry trees and a Jay in the woods.
Pepper Hill proved to be better, with Swallows & House
Martins gathering, lots of Goldfinch, 8 LTT's, Greenfinch,
Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Blackcap, Dunnock and a Hawk calling
loudly but couldn't be seen and a Kestrel hunting well until
disturbed by the pesky Magpies.
