Ringstone

Big Moan:

I took Emma to Wetherspoons - Sowerby Bridge for lunch today.

Sowerby Bridge has 'temporary' 3 way traffic lights at Wetherspoons and the traffic (one of which was me) was horrific.

At White Windows I phoned a couple of taxi firms to get a wheelchair taxi but both said they ' did not have one' - funny that , they had one last time I phoned.

I think the traffic fiasco had a bearing on the job!

Luckily the White Windows Mobile Van was available so we did get to Spoons - later than hoped for.

The 'two minute' drive from Fore Lane to Spoons took nearly 30 minutes.

Coming back I pushed Emma to Tesco's car park, where the van could pick us up without getting into the gridlock (mostly).

After all this guff - you guessed it - there's not a lot of birds to report.

Ringstone.

14:00 - 15:00

After Spoons I took a back road out of Sowerby Bridge and drove over to Ringstone.

It was disappointing really with a cold wind and not much about. 

A large bird? had met it's maker by the looks of a huge mass of feathers at the side of the reservoir - Goose?
