redcar tarn

 firstly its bloody cold up here and secondly its great 


got here for around 0830 light was and remained crap but what a place, 


even though its basically a pond its tiny, it was full of ducks and gulls and the local people feed them 


parked the van up and wow! really windy so reversed into the parking area and just sat with the back doors open for 3 hours 

lots of escapes but also loads of tufted duck coot a pair of goosander heard wigeon call a nice group of lapwings flew over plus a peregrine which sent everything up 


bradfords not the nicest place, its dirty scruffy and full of rubbish, at 49 years old i cannot recall a nice part of bradford, its not a nice place must be the only place in the UK where you dont need a driving licsence, yes you can turn left from the right hand lane and just stop in the middle of the road to chat to your mates and you can park on bus stops 

the drive to redcar tarn is not the best takes an hour through some of the scruffiest moors and villages and bradford council instead of tidying up the area would rather spend nearly 2 years on reataining wall 

yes spend money on walls not the shit that litters the streets 


a few years ago we went to bradford hospital to visit a friend,at the time we had an old mattress to get rid of, but i drive a van so couldnt take it to the tip should of just dumped it in bradford no one would care yes its a shit hole 


finally found a nice part of bradford, and a tiny place 



so loads of birds a black headed gull was sat on the post infront of me ringed
