 Hello from West Yorkshire
Hi,
Stumbled across this website a few weeks ago, time to say hello.
I'm a keen walker which over the years has provoked my interest in wildlife and nature in general. I do a fair bit of bird watching both of the garden and reserves.
Being in West Yorkshire I find there are so many places to go I'm dizzy, central for east / west coast (90mins), the Dales and Peak District not to mention North Yorks Moors plus there are loads of other places in Easy Yorkshire and South Yorkshire as well as the South Pennines.
Today I was at Haw Park Wood and Wintersett Reservoir near Wakefield and saw a fantastic pair of Sparrowhawks both perched about 5 metres from where I was sitting. They were both hunting and one of them managed to grab a sparrow or similar. They also managed to scare my westie who has been napping on my lap into the back of the car!
cheers
