On Friday I went out looking for decent views of Redwing and\/or Fieldfare. I have some decent photos of Redwing because we have had them in our garden and they also used to be in Roberts Park. In fact one of my Roberts Park Redwing photos was used to promote a Children’s BBC program about local wildlife a few years back. All my Fieldfare photos though are long-range fuzzy ones. Better ones are needed. It’s a good job I am flexible. No Redwing. No Fieldfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The header image is taken from the Bingley side of Shipley Glen. As usual click\/tap\/touch and image, not its caption to see it in its gallery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I started off by walking along Glen Road looking for Thrush sized birds flying between treetops and saw none. I looked in the treetops and saw no Redwing and Fieldfare. I did see several examples of Fungi, Lichen An Moss. The Lichen is in the Cladoniaceae family and the Mos is a variety of Sphagnum Moss. I then headed down into Shipley Glen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quiet in Shipley Glen, I heard a couple of Wren near the water of Lodepit Beck and a few Blackbird shifting leaves under some of the Holly bushes as I walked along the Bingley side of Lodepit Beck. A few Fungi were found but a lot of them are now looking past their best before dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did spend some time at Crag Hebble Dam waiting for Kingfisher. One did show itself but was still a fair distance away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Saturday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday I took some small prints to Bracken Hall Countryside Centre as part of an on-going discussion about what they might find useful. I decided to stay and first off look for Fieldfare, no deal. And then I headed down to Crag Hebble Dam. I had a bit of luck with a Kingfisher, but then it got busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was the Harriers vs Cyclists organised by Bingley Harriers. 8.3 km from Dowley Gap, through Milner Field, along Shipley Glen, up to the Trig point, round the hill and back again. A few cyclists came off their bikes in a spectacular way on the return. On the way up they went up the slope by the side of the steep stone steps. On the way down many were heading for the railings, to avoid them they went over the steps and met the slope at the bottom with a bit of a thump. No bones were broken, not important ones anyway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
