Around and About Sunday

Sunday at Bradley Hall Farm area
Swallows have fledged and are busy getting fed by mum and dad, a few Whitethroats, Greenfinch and Goldfinch singing. 2 x Yellowhammers singing. Blackbird singing from the telegraph pole as usual, Great tit family out and about. Kite (presumed Red) high over. Kestrel hovering by canal. Roses are blooming in the hedgerow, attracting many insects for all those newly fledged youngsters that are kicking about. A few Swifts and plenty of House Martins kicking about.

A few Mallard, one with a couple of young. 1 Moorhen

Elland - Brookfoot Lake
Plenty of Blue Tits and Long Tailed Tits. Jackdaws have already vacated their nest sites.

Lots of activity at the House Martin colony. I would be interested to know of any other colonies in the area.
