An enjoyable walk from Mytholmroyd to Hebden B. today.
Sunny and quite mild (6 degrees) to start but mist and some drizzly stuff arrived after our cafe break.
The drizzle tried to spoil things but failed.
Birds:-
We walked along the canal towpath to the point where it's closed for repairs - lively here:-
2 Jay, 2 Pied Wagtail, 2 Grey Wagtail with Tits and some Finches in the bushes as well.
We crossed over to the bridge by the old Walkley Clog factory, ruin, to walk along the river.
A first time along this path for me and a very pleasant stretch it is too.
Looking down to the river as we went along the road, prior to the clog shop, proved interesting.
3 Dipper were seen within 200 yds of each other feeding successfully on the river - beautiful birds and good swimmers.
Hebden Bridge park held 2 Song Thrush, squabbling.
On the return journey, 2 F. Goosander were on the river close to the railway station bridge.
Another Dipper (or one of the earlier ones) was also seen.
An enjoyable couple of hours.
Oh! I forgot to tell you.
Last Monday I went to see the doctor with a bad foot.
"What have you brought that thing in here for - take it away" he said.
No - he didn't say that really.
I told him I had a bad foot, he looked at it, prodded and poked it, squeezed it and sniffed.
Wash you foot, put this ointment on it and put a clean pair of socks on everyday.
Come back and see me next Monday.
Well 'Next Monday' is today but I can't seem to get me boots on!!
The old ones ...
2 Dippers here - on the move
2 Dippers here as well
