A blog by Paul Rigg mainly about the wildlife seen around Kiveton Park near Sheffield especially Kiveton Woodlands the site of the old Kiveton Pit. Over the last couple of years it has had worked carried out by the Forestry Commission and also by British Waterways (to create Kiveton Waters fishing ponds). I am also a member of SK58 birders watching birds in the 10km square of SK58
(http://www.sk58birders.com/). The blog will also talk about wildlife seen on trips to other places.
I am just getting into filming wildlife and these attempts can be seen on http://uk.youtube.com/user/paulrigg99.

A very windy day met me an Fizz upon our arrival to Kiveton Woodlands. The pond produced coots and mallards. Circling above were 3 Blackheaded Gulls. Walking away from the pond I saw 2 black shapes circling over the lakes - cormorants - they then headed back towards Kiveton Park (perhaps towards the ponds on Axle Lane).The rest of the walk produced blue tits and Kestrels. Returning to the lake a kestrel was hovering close to the path I was walking on. Watching this till it flew off I then saw another black shape another Cormorant (maybe one of the pair I saw earlier?). Wonder if it will stay over the cold weekend forecast?
