10 mile walk tuesday



a bit late posting! please forgive me!

set out from the house at midday,up coal pit lane towards southowram--bank top-- marsh delves--beacon hill--shibden park--shibden fold--horley green--ploughcroft--swalesmoor-ploughcroft--boothtown--old lane mill- town--shaw hill--home.

bird of the day was the stonechat a very nice 1st winter male at horley green,which was a 'green' tick.grey wagtails totalled 3 including 1 going sw over high sunderland lane,given the numbers of grey wagtails in halifax its hard to know if this was a migrant or not?.
siskin at shibden fold was nice to see away from the gravel pits.

apart from that very quiet maybe i should get up earlier!!!!
