Wool etc used to be winched up from the station on
a track and taken to the mill.
With talk of Buzzards moving through and an early Osprey sighting over Bolton Abbey I thought I,d better take a quick look over the Aire Valley bird highway from the top of the Dailie fields.
Unfortunately no raptor movement for me but several LBB gulls >N up the valley and a good sized flock of Fieldfare in the distance over Baildon also heading >N on their way home.
The station is now void of Redwings which have moved off leaving the resident Blackbirds to finish off the few remaining berries.
A call from NK this afternoon alerting me that Snow Buntings are moving through with a few sightings, the nearest being Pendle Hill, so Soil Hill will have to get a coat of looking at over the weekend. Wheatears are also entering the country on the south coast.
Its all happening now!!!
