Swalesmoor midday/ views of Shibden valley

Towards Shibden Head

Queensbury in the background

A mass of greenery

Looking down the valley

Across to Emley Moor

Across to Shibden Top

Undisturbed land

A dinnertime dash on Swalesmoor to check for Wheatears on the bottom quarry proven fruitless but gave me some amazing views of Shibden valley at its best.
3 Herring gulls went over >W along with several Swallows but no Swifts today.
Around a dozen Linnet were mobile, a scarce bird for me this year, whilst 4 Pied Wagtails were along the roadside.
Several Swallows were going in and out of an out building at the house near the Swalesmoor, Queensbury Road junction.
