A good mornings birding

Arrived at 07:50 it looked good sw wind and heavy cloud on the Pennine ridge. Nothing in the valley . First bird seen was a meadow pipit along the track/drain, more mpipits by the boathouse plus 28 twite, this is proberly the only flock in Calderdale...cool no sign of colour rings on them.
A distant bird flying sw in the low mist proved to be a buzzard. The rest of walk was livened up by 3 swallows going west. A skylark was by the track and more mpipits at the rear of the depot along with a wheatear
