Snow showers for most of the day today but the roads we ok.
We caught the 502 bus to Crossroads (above Keighley) this morning and walked down the Haworth Road to the excellent Wildes café.
A coffee and T cake later we legged it back up to catch the same bus on its return route.
This time we got off at Cullingworth village and enjoyed our second course, coffee and bun at the 'Spoons' café ( not to be confused with Wetherspoons).
After lunch we caught the bus home.
I took a small camera but with the bus windows gunged up so there was little opportunity for some snow scape snaps.
Just before dusk I had a brrrrrr up the local fields where the strength of the wind caught me out - a bit cold and very blizzard like.
Even so beats staying in.
Birds:- (or lack thereof).
A Mistle Thrush at Crossroads and 8 or so birds overhead, with very fast wing beats, which might have been Starling or Redwing and might not have been!
The Bradshaw fields had 1 Woodpigeon, 6 Carrion Crow, 3 Magpie and a Partridge species.
I just caught the back end of the running Partridge as it disappeared into a distant reed covered hollow.
I stood looking through the bins for a while for it to reappear, but the cold sent me home boohoo - soft sod what I am.
It was probably a Red Legged Partridge (or Blue Legged Today?) - Grey Partridge seem to fly off very soon.
The garden had a few visitors:-
Blackbird, Wren and Dunnock.
