It was a bright and sunny day but a chilly Westerly was blowing, which was felt more and more as I gained height over the hill to Withens Clough. Before that though there were eye catching reflections in the water at Lee Dam.
A good sized flock of 38 Redwing were feeding on Rowan trees at Sisley Lane, Mankinholes.
9 Meadow Pipits at Withens Gate and several birds (4 Coals Tits, 3 Blue Tits and a Siskin) were feeding on pine cones at the top of a fir tree in the wood at Withens Clough. A female Goldeneye was on the reservoir but apart from that there were surprisingly few birds about.
At home 8 Mistle Thrush flying around in the back field and a Pheasant came into the garden to feed on seeds dropped from the bird feeders by Goldfinches and Greenfinches.
