I had an enjoyable walk along the canal this afternoon.
It was pretty cold in Bradshaw this morning with a very strong wind. This fooled me again into wearing more warmer clothes than I needed in Brighouse del sol.
A bit of a perspiring afternoon but a few birds were about.
Top of the shop was a count of 15 Goosanders along the way.
A family of 10 were seen together near the weir at the end of the walk.
I managed to stay dry throughout, wearing warm waterproof trousers seems to keep the rain clouds away!
No birds seem or heard from the reedbed viewing platform unfortunately.
Birds:-
15 Goosander.
A small number of Swallow, 3 Swift, 6 Mute Swan.
3 Grey Wagtail - always a nice bird to see.
A distant Buzzard.
1 Black Headed Gull.
2 Moorhen, 5 Heron.
6 Thrush species flushed from on the deck near the river in the woodland - going by their leaving call, might have been Song Thrush but they all vamoosed too quick to be sure!!
and a few other species.
Nice Comma John
