A pleasant walk along the canal and river Calder from Brighouse to Elland this afternoon.
It was very breezy in Bradshaw this morning but lighter winds lower down in Brighouse.
3 birders seen along the way all reported 'quiet times'.
Not a lot about, top of the shop was 2 Kingfisher.
One flew towards Brighouse along the river and a second one soon after was on a tree branch on the opposite river bank to me.
Birds:-
Along the walk:
2 Kingfisher, Pied Wagtail, Starling, Mallard, Black Headed Gull.
Woodpigeon, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Moorhen.
Chaffinch, 3 Mute Swan, Heron and a few others.
A report of a black mink seen along the canal.
Garden Sky Watch Late Evening:
2 separate Sparrowhawk sightings, probably the same bird.
1 Buzzard, 2 Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Black Headed Gull.
Just before sunset , 19:00ish, the Crows over a very distant Oats Royd were still harassing a Raptor , a Sparrowhawk by the looks of it.
