Swales Moor

Ringby top this afternoon - still well frozen over up there and very cold on the ridge.
The Meadow Pipit flock is still there, feeding in the field opposite the long metal fence with at least 28 birds there but I couldn't find anything different with them.
2 alba wagtails
1 Kestrel
1 Fieldfare
6 Herring Gulls >N
A few Common Gulls loafing along the ridge and the usual corvids in abundance
A large dark looking dog Fox crossed the path in front of me but it was gone as I lifted the camera !
 Ringby top fields on 9th Dec looking towards Soil Hill (L) and Queensbury (R)
 
Ringby top this afternoon looking east towards (I think) Drax (L) and Ferrybridge (R) power stations
