Abysmal Day at the Office

     Well I decided on a local route today and wish I hadn't
     as it was abysmal for birdlife, I set off from Jerwood Hill
     down the track to Shibden Mill Inn which produced a Robin,
     6 House Martins, 2 House Sparrow and 2 very distant Buzzard,
     I then walked up the mountain called Lee Lane towards the
     Sportsman Inn by this time me and the dog were knackered,
     anyway it produced a Dunnock, a distant Kestrel and a farm
     Greylag Goose, when we reached the sportsman inn I took
     the Hag Lane route back to the car at Horley Green, and this
     walk produced 4 Swallows and a Meadow Pipit, lots of Crows,
     Magpies, Wood Pigeon and Rabbits but avian wise it was poor.

     They say you have good days and bad days watching wildlife
      and patience is a virtue,  well it wasn't a virtue today it was a
     bloody nightmare, 2 hours at my fave spot by the beach produced
     5 flybys by Kingfishers but refused to land anywhere decent for a
     pic, Grey Heron flyover, 1 flighty Grey Wagtail, 1 Treecreeper,
     2 juvenile Moorhen, 2 Mallard, 8 House Martins high up and 6
     Wood Pigeon coming and going.

    River walk-: 2 Robins, 6 Mallard, 8 LTT'S AND 6 dogs in the river.
    Viewing area had Blue, Great & Coal tits, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Robins,
    Dunnocks, Nuthatch and a couple of squirrels.
    Garden-: 20+ juvenile Goldfinch, Greenfinch and Collared Doves.
    and a ringed adult Goldfinch.
