Ogden - Bradshaw

11:50 - 15:10

A real scorcher today.

Geraldine dropped me near Coal Lane exit on out way back from a breakfast at Wildes Cafe, Crossroads near Keighley so I could lose some bodily liquid through perspiration on my walk today.

I went through the activity centre where lots of kids were having fun on scooters and the train thingy.

Half a circuit of Ogden Water was followed by a cafe visit and a full circuit of Ogden Water before another cafe visit to rest a bit before walking home along the local fields.

Another long gawp along the shoreline refused to bring me the long staying Common Sandpiper - I am guessing it rests in the afternoon - birding excuse No: 27.

I did get something new-ish with 7 Lapwing on the shoreline stones.
