A showery damp afternoon in Bradshaw had us take a look at Hardcastle Crags this aft.
We parked on the main road above Hebden Bridge and had a longer than expected (remembered) walk to the car park!
We followed the main track to Gibson Mill with intermittent light showers for company.
After a coffee and a bun we returned via the path by the stream, a really lovely walk.
I was totally gob smacked by the lack of birds seen today.
The outward walk 'revealed' a calling Nuthatch and a 'good few' Coal Tit.
Goldcrest were calling from the high, dark canopy but I failed to spot any.
I had high hopes for the leisurely stroll back along the stream.
My hopes were dashed though, with only a couple of Grey Wagtail seen.
Even one of the Grey Wagtail were disturbed by a fisherman, walking in the stream, mid-photo!
Another calling Nuthatch and a Jay completed our birding experience.
The walk, however, was very pleasant.
Better luck next time out?
Nearer home, a quick stop at the Raggalds Flood revealed a Rook and a solitary Common Gull!
A Kestrel was on the telephone lines opposite the Raggalds Inn.
It was a nice surprise, to be welcomed home, by a singing Robin on the beech hedge.
