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 Sunday afternoon stroll (23 Nov 2008)
Posted 24-11-2008 at 06:47 AM by riggy
After a morning spent in Meadowhell and a rather nice lamb dinner at home decided to take Fizz for a walk around Kiveton Woodlands. The sun was shining but it was a bit cold in the wind. The little bit of snow from the morning had gone. The first sight was a lovely female bullfinch then a Kestrel. Walking through a wooded area a mixed flock of Fieldfare and Redwing. After leaving the wood a pair of Cormorants flew over heading towards the fishing ponds. The rest of the walk produced little in the way of wildlife but looking back towards the setting sun produced some nice views. Returning towards the pond one of the Cormorants was circling the pond it showed a pale under from guide books this shows a first winter bird. Six Blackheaded gulls were on the lake.
