Raggalds / Soyland / Local Fields

Another crisp sunny morning with the 1st frost of the autumn (for me) as I walked up to the Raggalds to check out the flood , water just hanging on and nothing of interest here (except NK!).

Late morning and we were all off to Soyland where Ruth pottery skills were going to help Abi make a cat out of clay.

Once home again I had 20 minutes (before dark) to check out the local fields and then we took Abi back to Heckmondwike.

Birds:-

4 Small Gulls on the water, along the way, Kestrel and a Mistle Thrush, Pheasant.

15 Canada Geese (visible - could be more).
