Here are just a few images from a short trip to Far Pastures. Oh and I have set myself an almost impossible challenge, the next time I go to Far Pastures I am going to try to photograph a bird without a leg ring.
After seeing my first Redpoll of the year the other day, there were three at Far Pastures.
Willow Tit
Long-tailed Tit
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Male Reed Bunting
Red Kite
I had a couple of walks around Burdon Moor and Causey Arch. Dippers and the first Deer at the Causey Arch second Deer at Burdon Moor.

Roe Bucks seemed to be at different stages in development at the moment. This one at Causey Arch still has the velvet on its antlers.
This one at Burdon Moor a day later has lost its velvet.
The 24th and a walk around the Burdon Moor area produced three first of the year birds.
1st Red-legged Partridge
2nd Little Owl. One of Two
Big tree Little Owl
3rd Redpoll
Chiffchaff
Long-tailed Tit
Stonechat
Crow eating a Frog or Toad
I am way behind going through all of the pictures I have shot lately. These are from the 22nd at Causey Woods.

Normally I get this type of image of a female Grey Wagtail.
However, on this occasion I was lucky enough to get her catching flies.
On the way back home, I found two Brown Hare in a stubble field.
