A shopping trip to Bradford this morning and a walk along Thornton Cycle Track was followed by a run out to Oxenhope's Leeshaw Reservoir late p.m. / early evening.
Great to see a scream of c10 Swift fire past overhead as we crossed the Thornton Viaduct with a few other single Swift here also.
The usual birds along the track included a Great Spotted Woodpecker, Blackcap and Whitethroat.
A bright and breezy outing at Leeshaw this evening with plenty of noisy Geese and Oystercatcher.
A mega distant Wader on the far bank that I caught in a photo by accident is probably a Redshank?
Birds:-
Oystercatcher, Curlew, Lapwing (including Lapwing Chicks), Greylag Goose, Canada Goose, Mallard.
Swallow, House Martin, Pied Wagtail. Skylark.
Meadow Pipit. 2 Stock Doves.
Dunlin,2 Common Sandpiper. Redshank?
A Cuckoo called a couple of times from the west.
Little Owl.
A Female / Juv? Goosander looking very Red-Breasted Merganser like.
