Pepper Hill

 

   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.
