A long-ish outing late morning, afternoon up Bradshaw Lane then a left up The Ice Rink - Taylor Lane.
Is Taylor Lane the most dangerous winter lane in Calderdale.
Today I had to climb up onto the grass next to the wall banking to get up the B. thing!
I went over Soil Hill main path, over to and around Ogden Water before returning via Back Lane and the farm tracks.
A great day to be out walking and the birds were fairly kind to me today.
Ogden Water was disappointing but the close-by trees did reveal the odd bird!
I usually find that visits in rainy weather reveal more birds along the circuit here.
The cafe was a welcome break and I had a lovely chat with a couple from Pavement Lane as I did the circuit.
Birds:-
Dunnock
22 (7,5,10) Rooks.
Blue & Great Tit.
Little Owl.
Black Headed Gull, Common Gull, Herring Gull. (Fields).
Starling Flock.
Red Legged Partridge 12 ( 8,4 ).
Pied Wagtail, Wren, Goldfinch.
2 Kestrel,2 Pheasant.
c25 Small Gulls (Ogden Water).
4 Treecreeper. Robin.
Great Spotted Woodpecker.
The Great Spotted Woodpecker could be heard 'digging' trying to find food under a tree bark but I could not see it.
After I had a long wait, it flew very obligingly (eventually) to a nearby tree.
Cormorant.
Blackbird. Woodpigeon.
Magpie, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw.
Bullfinch.
Goldcrest.
Stonechat.
