The day started with rain but brightened up enouph late morning for
me to go back to St. Ives near Bingley. I saw a wider variety of birds
this time although the ones I saw last time were there, Mallards,Canada
and Coots. This time I saw a Moorhen,squirrel pinching the bird seed
and a pair I'm not sure about. The Snowdrops were flowering near the
pond.

Beginners Views

Today I took my first steps on the moors above Harden in West Yorkshire,
after following Bri on his site, to find some birds. After early morning fog
the day brightened and by late morning visibility was good. I was armed
with my binoculars and camera the views were good but I saw very
few birds. If I did see one it was gone before I could point my camera
at it. This is harder than I thought, next time will try a different location.


Ready for action



Saw some birds late afternoon
