A cracking day today, with wall to wall sunshine.
We enjoyed a good hike over the moors to Haworth.
Afterwards we caught the Haworth to Hebden Bridge bus and after a cafe stop went to catch the bus to Halifax.
The H.B. road was snarled up with traffic going nowhere and there was a long queue for the bus, so we decided to walk along the canal towpath to Sowerby Bridge.
A few buses from Sowerby Bridge and we got home at 7PM.
A great day out.
The moors, as seen from the H.B. bus, were ablaze, well to the west of Leeshaw reservoir.
Only a small camera today.
40 bird sp. seen today, which, for me is a very good number for this time of the year, some of the highlights:-
Lots of Meadow Pipits on the moors was pleasing.
A Little Owl seen near Bradshaw - always a good 'un.
3 Kestrel seen - one was calling with a loud high-pitched call, possibly we spooked it as we passed.

6 Red Grouse.
2 Curlew.
4 Heron, nesting in a Heronry.
