Ponden and Leeshaw Reservoirs

Shopping day mostly today and  for tea we had a run out to Haworth to enjoy Fish and Chips in the car looking over a moody, drizzly moorland.

Over 100 Lesser Black-backed Gulls passed by overhead as we were noshing, on their way to Oxenhope reservoir I would think.

Afterwards we had a quick look at Ponden and Leeshaw Reservoirs.

Ponden:

Ponden was very, very quiet with just a few Sand Martins of interest.

Leeshaw:

The fields by the reservoir were full of birds, mostly Geese.

The usual Greylag and Canada Geese were in the company of a few Oystercatcher and Curlew. 

A couple of Lapwing were on the nearside shoreline and a few Gulls were on the far shore.

A Juv. Dipper was on a rock near the stream.

Elsewhere today - a Peregrine Falcon.
