A blustery cold day with some sunshine and heavy showers.
The blaze below Ringby Top, believed to be a fuel store continued into a second day with water having to be pumped via miles of hoses from Boothtown road at the bottom of Ploughcroft. The lads of the West Yorkshire fire service are certainly earning their keep around this area lately.
A flying visit late afternoon to Shibden Top, Deanstones produced 2 singing Whitethroat, 3 Willow Warbler and a Chiffchaff. There were no signs of the suspected Sand Martins from previous years attempt at breeding in the clay hillside.
Several House Martins were present and 6 LBB gulls headed >NW.
Hope this wind drops by morning.
