After a report from JM of Pink Footed Geese over Brighouse moving towards Elland this a.m. I decided to have a short garden sky watch.
This paid dividends when a sizeable skein of 135 Pinkies , heard from Queensbury area , flew over our garden shortly afterwards!
In fact, my Whats App pinged off and on all day with many Pinkies seen over Calderdale airspace.
Later, while we waited in for a delivery man, I had a walk up to a frozen Raggalds Flood to be greeted with a few Crows!
Fortunately the delivery soon arrived allowing us to leg it down Bradshaw Lane for a later 502 bus to Cross Roads (above Keighley).
We just had time to nip into Wildes café here grab a sarnie and coffee for lunch before catching the B3 to Hebden Bridge.
The service here is super quick, the staff friendly with some singing! and the grub great.
We had a break from tradition at Hebden Bridge choosing to walk to Todmorden along the canal.
A great day for a walk, especially with snow forecast for tomorrow.
Yet another "Spoons" added to our repertoire with a cracking one in Todmorden where I had a pint of Worthington's and a Cookie Crunch yum, yum.
The bus back from Todmorden to Halifax was packed and we caught a second bus to Bradshaw Church and walked home in the dark - a really enjoyable jaunt.
