Baggeridge Country Park (December 28)

A brief afternoon visit to Baggeridge. The very cold spell continues. Highlight was a peregrine perched about 4/5 of the way up the chimney stack at the brickworks. I managed to get some footage of the bird and although I was some distance away it's still interesting enough. You can view it here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dqZrdLgcCxs&feature=channel_page
A raven in flight, heading from the Red Lane area to the Straits, although high in the sky and showing no sign of dropping down.
Other birds included: bullfinch (3 males near visitor's centre, male and female near brickworks), goldfinch, greenfinch, chaffinch.
