Another cracking day for a walk, blue skies, little wind but very cold early doors( -4 on the car this a.m.).
Sue was visiting a friend at Ludd. Foot and she dropped me at Sowerby Bridge.
I enjoyed a birding walk along the canal to Hebden Bridge, although the crisp weather did not lend itself to loitering!
Sue picked me up at Hebden Bridge and after a café stop for lunch we went home via the Hebden Bridge - Oxenhope Road.
Some fantastic winter scenery on offer over the moors today.
Some Birds:-
Nothing mega today, although approaching Hebden at the end of the walk a large "Sparrowhawk" type Raptor was very high > SSW .
It was out of sight nearly immediately I first saw it!!!
Canada Geese, one very dark bird.
4 Heron at different points along the way.
Jay.
Redwing.
Chaffinch.
Drake Goosander.
Red Grouse were distant, seen feeding in the snow from the Hebden Bridge - Oxenhope Road - Smashing!!
A Kestrel or Merlin flew past the car up here also - the photo taken from the car is rubbish alas!
Not many birds on offer today but a fantastic day to be out and about, provided you wrap up.
(Maybe I should wrap up more often!!).
