Scammonden Circuit

Yesterday

Great to be out, as the Count of Monte Cristo used to say.


I did a leisurely circuit of Scammonden Reservoir, with Veronica, in fairly clement weather, with only a small fall of light rain.


Good views of the great northern diver. The diver was pretty mobile.; then again, an immobile diver wouldn't be up to much.


Also, 1 male kestrel, 1m and 1f brambling; 16 fieldfare, though possibly more present but impeded view; 12 redwing; 1 heron; plus usual species, incl corvids, gulls, canada geese, titmice, finches, medow pipits, dog walkers, walking dogs, etc..
