I had intended to walk up Ringby Bridleway this morning but cattle were loose on the narrow walled path in danger of getting onto the road.
I had a short walk along Pule Lane (great views) instead, and a lady there said she would ring the farmer.
A change of plan, then, and a circular walk around the top of Shibden along Hag Lane.
Not much about though.
A Green Woodpecker called.
A calling Buzzard was located in a nearby tree.
When I got back to the car the cattle had been rounded up by Rowdy Yates and Bronco Lane so I had a look along the path.
Not a lot here - either.
Usual Gulls were very distant on the factory roof.
Many Corvids.
A few Swallow.
Linnet, Goldfinch, 3 Stock Doves, House Sparrow, Pied Wagtail, Meadow Pipit, Starling.
The feeders at the bottom of the track are worth a look.
Today there were Greenfinch, Blue Tit, Great Tit and a poss. Reed Bunting.
A speculative photo of some small birds reveals a Whitethroat when I inspect it! and a Pipit that I will not speculate on.
Leeshaw:
Sue wanted to visit Haworth this aft.
Well Heads Road fields had loads of Gulls sitting in the sun - way off.
On the way back we called at Leeshaw.
I was hoping for a Wader or 3, especially given the grapevine reports.
A lengthy look around failed to produce much at all!
Very quiet indeed.
1 Lapwing on the distant shore.
2 Cormorant on the ironworks and a few Meadow Pipit.
I was thinking that that was it but the outing was rescued by a Male Kingfisher near the stream below the res. road.
School Report: Must do better!
