If theres one thing uplands birds hate its a cool Easterly which was no exception late afternoon on Ringby Top where the wind had cleared the sky of birds other than the usual corvids and a couple of Swallows skimming over the muddy puddles.
Plenty Skylarks were present along with a few remaining Meadow Pipits whilst a single Mistle Thrush was on the west slope out of the wind.
Earlier this afternoon on route from Brighouse to Halifax we stopped by the fishermans lake at Elland Gravel Pits to see if I could get me a Scaup but just ended up with 2 Gt Crested Grebe.
An evening dog walk down Harp Lane, Foxhill found , 2 Mistle Thrush, 1 distant Wheatear, 4 Wrens , 3 Dunnocks and several Blue and Gt Tits.
