Needed a walk after the usual lunchtime "blowout" today so I took a stroll (well, a real yomp actually) to check out a less than desirable part of Lancashire. Why? Well, it's been left on its lonesome as a blank square on the BTO winter bird atlas but it needs doing so I thought I'd check it out. I was too late to do anything meaningful apart from note a few Long-tailed Tits, Grey Wagtail and 78 Mallard on a pond but as predicted there were quite large gatherings of CHAVfinches, HOODIE Mergansers and ASBOhemian Waxwings in force. Rib-breaking, side-splitting stuff. Ho, ho, ho.The accompanying picture has nothing whatsoever to do with the above drivel but Choughs are nice and it's a shame if the picture goes to waste. And why does a looser like me get to blog on Xmas Day? Cos Mrs B watching Dr bloody Who, that's why (Strictly Go Birding for me).
Oh, and I'll do the square .....
Happy Christmas.
