Elland Walk:
A walk along the canal and river paths from Elland to Brookfoot, late morning was a pleasantly warm affair.
Plenty of bird contact calls but sightings were difficult to "come by" as the Shepheard said to Lassie.
The river was very low and calm with few birds seen on it.
The ski-lake is obscured by trees in full leaf but I did get one Lesser Black-backed Gull - it left immediately after I saw it.
