A run down to Shibden Park this morning where the breeze was a bit less fierce than at home.
A bright-ish day with some sunshine as the clouds flitted through.
I enjoyed a walk around the boating lake where I saw the usual species.
A walk through the nearby woodland was a very quiet do, so I had a walk up past "the old house" and past the top car park into Cunnery Woods.
There were good views east from the hilltop but nothing of note in the sky.
I stopped, for a short while , by the feeders near the small pond and then did a complete circuit of the woods here.
A very pleasant place to saunter about.
Here again it was very quiet with just the usual birds about.
A couple of hours, late afternoon, along the local fields was a cold blustery affair with bits of light drizzle - but not too bad really.
