E!!and to Avocet Works / Late aft. Garden Sky Watch

I had a windy bright outing late morning along the canal and river from Elland to Brighouse Avocet Works.

Lots of runners, walkers, dogs -  and even 5 mountain bikers passed me by the nature reserve cafe.

An enjoyable walk today with a few 'bits' to keep the interest ticking along.

Good to chat with Mick & Kath at 'Lagoon View'.

Just before sundown I had a cold garden sky watch for 30 mins or so.

C60 Gulls all > East and 2 Kestrel were seen just before lights out.

Looks like the new year heavy snowfall has been 'watered' down....... we'll see up here.
