No birding much today with a visit to Brighouse with Abi this afternoon for her to do some shopping.
We checked out the charity shops to see what she could get for her fiver (in theory!).
A visit to Kendal's Ice Cream Parlour at Hipperholme is always good.

2 Swift zipping high over the canal near the climbing tower was only my second Swift sighting of the year.
A few 'Butterflies' included a black one - but I failed to get it on camera.
