Thursday 29th March a.m.
Only quick visits today, another sunny day with early temperature up at 9°C and later
14°C and rising. Not been up to Harden Moor for a while but saw some good birds
including
Chaffinch,Linnet,Mistle Thrush,Robin and
Wren.
A walk on Trough Lane to see if any Wheatear yet but to no avail but did see
Kestrel,
Curlew,Lapwing,Meadow Pipit and
Pheasant.One bird I saw I thought might be a
Skylark as it went up into the air hovered and then dropped back down, I've not recognized
Skylark before, may have been another Meadow Pipit. Will put a snap on when I've sorted
it out.

I've seen more Linnets than usual this year way over here in Leeds at Harewood, Rodley, and Kirkstall Nature Reserve, Linda
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing a large flock of Linnets on my last visit to Rodley NR but I
