Ponden, Leeshaw and Crag Lane - Foreside Lane to Bradshaw via Ogden


We had a visit to Haworth this afternoon to look at the few shops there before enjoying a fish butty, curtesy of the Golden Hind chippy, Oxenhope.
A cracking fish it was as well.

Later we had a look at Ponden and Leeshaw reservoirs.

On the way home Sue dropped me at Crag Lane, Denholme and I enjoyed a hot hike home via Ogden.

Birds:

Very quiet (the boating gang were just leaving).
A few Canada Geese, 2 Moorhen and a few Mallards.

3 Mistle Thrush, Curlew, Kestrel.
A Raptor left the ruin (on the bridleway that runs south from Foreside Lane to Ogden). Probably a Kestrel but...
