From Dave B - 3 skeins reported, probably 'pinkies', at 10:20 over Low Moor, Bradford heading our way. I tried from home but couldn't pick them up so guess they either headed over town, the Calder Valley or Queensbury direction. ? Wonder if anyone else managed to see them ?
On the plus side I had a Green Woodpecker flyover while I was out looking for the geese.
Took a few shots of birds in the garden this morning - through the window !
Great Spotted Woodpecker
Mistle Thrush (a scarce garden bird here)
Blackbird
Long-tailed Tit
Blue Tit
Goldcrest (a regular this winter on the fat-filled coconut)

Noisy Pinkies over Bradshaw 10:27 >SW an odd direction?
I was snow shifting and by the time I'd got my mobile phone out they had all but disappeared.
30+ but its a bit if a guess.
Best I could do.

Thanks John - pleased you got some.
I saw a Goldcrest pecking up scraps under a fat-block in a garden at West End last Friday. They've obviously learned that fat tastes good!
Interesting with the Goldcrests Steve.
Nice shots Dave, shame the pinkies didn't go over your way it was a great sight, over 100 of them and very noisy. Nice one with the Green Woodpecker my bogie bird.
