No chance of birding this a.m. and just time for a dog walk this evening to Shibden Head.
Only managed as far as Hanging Royd barn as 4 scramble bikes were flying about lower down and spooking the horses which were galloping about in all directions so not fancying a hoof mark on the head or a squashed dog I decided to retreat for the third time this weekend with druggies, gunners and bikers.
Managed to pick out a few birds in the valley trees below me but not easy now in full green cover.
