tuesday work,food and birds

 just work today fitting 3 windows i made last month, this was in Idle Bradford on the very steep High St, we had all 3 windows in before midday when the amazing smell of a chippy frying, now on a cold november that smell is as good as it gets, young bubbles the apprentice was sent off to investigate, and yes they take cards which many dont up here 

fish butty ate on the street in the cold.......is there anything better??? not really when its as good as this really top quality and a spotless place, price you cannot put price on a good honest fish butty 

so Towngate Fisheries Idle is one of the best ive had in recent years apart from the Codfather in Wakefield 

as i headed back up the scaffold fred dibnah stlye a lovely group of long tailed tits made there way over the road 

heading back to halifax via the long way to avoid the traffic

lots of gulls in the fields by Coldspring Mills and Flappits, deffo going back 


back home checking local blogs i found this on west yorkshire birding

and as usual brian never fails to dissapoint with his very informative blog 

he posted a few photos of a colour ringed black headed gull at Redcar Tarn yesterday, im quite on tracing any colour ringed birds i see so out of curiostiy i noted the number J1K4 on green and googled yep Norway logged on to the Norway colour ringing group put the details in and looked in amazement that this bird a male had beed rung as an adult in Oslo in the summer of 2016 and has spent each winter since at Redcar Tarn and Oslo to breed 

so 6 years of going back and forth from Bradford to Oslo not bad going 

J1K4

in Oslo
