It was a dull chilly calm morning as I walked along the canal and river from Elland towards Brighouse this morning.
Plenty of dog walkers about taking advantage of the dry weather.
An enjoyable walk, I was out and about for 2 1/2 hours or so, but pretty quiet on the birding front.
Reports of Pinkies were pinging or pinking on my phone but none entered my airspace ( or the bit I could see periodically).
This afternoon I had my usual stroll up the local fields.
Birds:-

3 Mute Swan.
2 Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Mistle Thrush. Nuthatch.
3 Jay. Grey Wagtail.
6 Cormorant. 2 Coot.
2 Stock Dove, high on Pylon Wires (better than snorting cocaine).
Great Crested Grebe on the far side of the ski lake.
1 (Redhead) Goosander.
