Ringstone Reservoir - Barkisland. Awful Timing.

I had a visit to Sowerby Bridge late morning and later on I drove over to Barkisland to check out Ringstone Reservoir.

I walked along the west side reservoir wall as far as the hide and back.

My timing was really poor as "Rain" and it's good pal "Strong Wind" gave me a severe 

thrashing - I didn't cry though - tough sod what I am - those tears were raindrops.

Birds: (now there was something to cry about!).

Small Gulls - mostly Black Headed Gulls.

Golden Plover well camouflaged on the far east side stones.

Lapwing Flock, landed in the north field. (55 counted from a partial sighting on a photo).

The odd Meadow Pipit - pipped past.

1 Pied Wagtail on the cobbles.

Kestrel.

3 Pheasant.

Rook.

Crow.

Jackdaw.

Magpie.

Spot the Kestrel.
