Halifax

We got a surprise this morning at 10.15 as we were about to come off the flyover near Peoples Park - a Common Buzzard was circling low over the houses near the Elsie Whiteley Centre with Pigeons and Starlings everywhere and looking very unsettled with its' presence. An unusual spot for a Common Buzzard but we wondered if it had been passing over high and come down to investigate roof top pigeons?

Also out of our area, a lot of Pink-footed Geese coming into the country the last few days with some reasonably good counts from both east and west coasts and some over Oxenhope recently. A good chance of some for our area in the next few days...
