10:20 - 12:30
Sowerby Bridge:
I had a short stroll from Sowerby Bridge along the canal towards Copley this morning.
Very. very quiet yet again!
6 Swift were zooming around the top of the Moorings buildings.
A look at the river opposite the 'Halifax Bank' data centre was disappointing with just 3 Drake Mallard hereabouts.
Continuing along the river bank , under the river viaduct to the houses, did not produce much at all, with just a couple of Swift hereabouts.
For the return journey I rejoined the canal just after the viaduct.
A Blackcap was singing in the trees and eventually showed briefly.
A Jay was by the canal and 3 Chiffchaff were singing hereabouts.
A Green Woodpecker called from afar and there were a few Swallow and lots of Canada Geese seen.
That was about it and when heavy rain arrived I made a bee-line for a cafe in Sowerby Bridge to read the paper and have a coffee before going up to White Windows to pick up Emma.
I have included a few photos from an outing to Soil Hill on Thursday.
The last few outings have been a real struggle with 'goodies' impossible to come by.
