This morning I had a walk up to Soil Hill, over the summit path, down Ned Hill Rd and through the farms to home.
A great improvement on yesterdays weather with the gloomy stuff lifting and mostly dry.
This afternoon I had a look at Mixenden Reservoir from the top road but just a few distant Gulls on the banking was all I could see.
Next was a drive up to check the Raggalds Flood where the water is just hanging on.
This afternoon I had my usual saunter up the local fields where the temperature was a balmy one degree.
Some decent birds around (for me anyway) today.
