Jay House Lane Area

10:00 - 12:15

I was hoping to enhance my yearly Calderdale Bird List this morning by taking a few hours moseying around the Jay House Lane area.

The enhancement alas was not forthcoming.

I parked in the layby opposite the Golf Club on the AI! and walked to the bottom of Jay House Lane to the ford and back.

It was good to have a quick chat with JM who was on a leg stretcher here abouts.

It was a tad windy and cool with the odd spit of rain but ok really compared to Bradshaw.

Lots of birds calls and bird song here today but no mega for me.
