On a cold and frosty morning

Driving through Eccup, we spotted this little chap sitting on fencepost by the side of the road, a Little Owl, fantastic!



At Goldenacre, with the main lake frozen over, the wildfowl occupied the stream leading into the lake. Mallards, Coots, Scaup, White fronted Geese, and a pair of Whooper Swans.

And plenty of garden birds too. Their plumage really stands out against the snow.





We returned home the long way round, through Harewood, and caught sight of three Red Kites, here's one preparing to land.
