Snipe (I think) yesterday, again - up near Crag Hall. It flew up out of a patch of reeds enough for me to see the very long bill before flying back to the ground again and hiding.

And a barn owl on yesterday's run - looking surprising beige against the pure white snow.

First Little Grebe of the Year on the Wharfe in Otley. Also saw Bullfinches, Tree Creeper, Goosanders, Fieldfare, Greenfinch, Buzzard and much more of the normal stuff.

My lucky wife saw three otters in the River Wharfe at Otley today, good sighting both in and out of the water. To say I'm jealous is an understatement.

Today in our garden.
Even snow! Cool!

Ooh, good call. We normally do this.

Today's highlights: Pair of Goosanders and a dipper on the Dane, kestrel on the moors, snipe (maybe) flushed out of a patch of reeds.
