a Yellow Legged Herring. Stood out among the LBBs and
bright yellow legs.
With the car in for its annual health check this morning I was stuck to wandering around Halifax for nearly 2 hours along with a cart load of druggies. Halifax town centre used to be such a nice place but those days are gone.
A bit of spare time in the afternoon and the dogs to walk so I headed to Ogden to see if NKs YL Herring from yesterday was present. There was around 70 LBB and 2 Herring with a pale mantled, yellow legged, 2CY gull which stood out among the LBBs as a possible YL no NKs bird never showed.
A single drake Tufted was out on the water but otherwise just the usual species. I never bothered with the woods, even though the only warblers I've had this year so far are Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff as warblers are in low demand at Fly Flatts and Leeshaw.
Luckily, I missed a morning of fog at Fly Flatts today with the SE wind and tomorrow its back to a moderate SSW but starting off at 15 degrees which is getting a bit on the warm side for me.
