Sowerby Bridge am / Mytholmroyd - Hebden Bridge pm

After I did some snow shifting in Bradshaw this 
morning, Sue had an appointment in Sowerby Bridge, so I took the opportunity to have a nosy around the Fore Lane top and St. Peter's Church area.

A bit more re: treecreepers:-

If you search in Google for:-
Javier blasco treecreeper 
there is an amazing .pdf file available.

No snow here but a cold.stiff breeze knocking about.
Some very pleasant views looking over the valley towards Ogden.

Australian - perhaps not too relevant!!

Sowerby Bridge:

Birds:-

Treecreeper, Great Spotted Woodpecker.
A good few Chaffinch (made a change).
Probably a  F. Brambling (one photo shows dark spots on the flank) but the bird refused to show itself!

Mistle Thrush.
possible Barnacle Goose seen at distance on the water treatment pool, looking down from Fore Lane Top?
Common and Black Headed Gulls on the cricket pitch.

Mytholmroyd - Hebden Bridge:

A short walk along the canal to Hebden Bridge.
The canal is closed for a bit at Mytholmroyd.
Just one sharp hail/sleet shower to contend with and the cold breeze.

Birds:

Green Woodpecker called several times from trees opposite Mytholmroyd Co-Op.
Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Heron.
Greenfinch.
Long Tailed Tit.
and a few others.

We met a dyslectic Irish guy along the way.
He was wearing Cat Flap.

Barnacle Goose (or Mirage)

F. Brambling
