Ringstone Reservoir - Barkisland

 13:00 - 14:00

A pleasant sunny day.

I had a visit to make to Sowerby Bridge this morning and I decided to take a run over to Ringstone afterwards.

I had a salad sarnie for lunch from Barkisland Post Office - very nice.

It was good to chat with the Yorkshire Water guy who was doing the rounds.

I had my usual walk along the wall and back.

A Dipper flushed immediately from the SE corner inlet area.

The  reservoir is very full as usual but it was good to pick out 5 Snipe sunbathing  in ones along the north shoreline.

I have a reply regarding the ringing info. of the Ogden  Med Gull.
