On The Buses

We were unsure about bus times today, with it being Good Friday and a bank holiday.

However, seeing that most of the banks have closed or are thinking of closing most days are bank holidays?

And it came to pass that today's bus was a Saturday service and tomorrow (Saturday) is a Sunday service - so no Bradshaw 526 tomorrow......here endeth the bus timetable sermon.

We caught the bus to Halifax -  another to Luddenden Foot and walked along the railway path to Hebden Bridge.

In Hebden I took out a loan so we could afford two  currant T cakes, 2 drinks and one scone in a cafe in St George's square - is it me?

Anyway, I'm thinking of changing my name to Percy - Percy Monoius  ...... ho, ho ,ho

Pretty dull and damp to start, brightened a bit and warmed up nicely to finish.

Birds:-

No Optics today.

2 Heron chicks looked to be present in one nest and 2 adult birds were also seen.

The Barnacle Goose was playing hide and seek near the Brearley ponds with a few Sand Martins  zooming low over the river.

Usual Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler , Nuthatch but no Woodpecker species.

More of a walk than a birding outing today.

Very wet after tea stopped me going out up the local fields.

(Soft sod what I am - and the bog will probably have some soft sods next visit).

I did take a really awful video on my Barney Rubble mobile phone where Barney can be seen - just.
