Eccup Challange
Posted 25-06-10 at 09:39 PM by amanda
To day was good and bad...
Took the long road and made my way to the waters edge,yet again the birds were on the other side to me
There was a large group of Tuffed ducks to day,watched the Geese on the other side for a bit and managed to see the Bar-headed Goose,decided to walk round the edge as it was to hot to sit,saw a Treecreeper and The Shelducks out on the water they have two young.Walked on and saw a young Great Spotted Woodpecker a new one for the list,my camera was having a strop and every photo seemed bad,the sun on the water making it hard to take photos,saw my first Coot and Moorhen at Eccup and a few birds I was not sure what they were.Half way round I saw two men in the wood
I didn't fancy going past them so had to walk the whole way back... Then I saw the Green Woodpecker a first for me and Eccup,reached for my Bins and they were not in my bag
I had put them down some were
Didn't have the time or the strength to go back looking for them.Made my way back to the road and walked back to the car... so a day of two halves...
New birds for list..
Moorhen.
Coot.
Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Green Woodpecker.

I'm just catching up with the blogs Amanda - you are surging ahead with your Eccup list.
Barn Owls and Green Woodpecker are a nice treat I'm yet to see.
Shame you lost your bins - hope you can replace them soon.Posted 27-06-10 at 05:17 PM by alanjns

Thanks,did go and get a cheep pair to keep me going(£10.) but they are not as good as my others,I do have my Dad's bins which did cost over £100 but I find them hard to use!!! just can't seem to see right well through them...Going back to Eccup on Fri 2nd,would like to see the Green Woodpecker again and get a better photo,might find my bins!!It's been nice all week but gives rain for Friday so we will see...Posted 01-07-10 at 03:01 PM by amanda
