Snow and ice plastered the Pennines today but gritters had cleared the M62 just enough to warrant a trip to Wakefield. An unusual birding destination may be, but "Blyth's Pipit" isn't a usual sort of bird. (Actually it's dull as hell, but rare enough to draw me to a disused bit of scrub opposite a new-build housing estate in Yorkshire). Luckily I found it straight away (again, with help from other birders).
The weather outside is frightful, but the birding is so delightful.
