work little gull and a magical wood

 saturday


back to selby to parents new house to fit a loft hatch and ladder by 1 job done with some great bacon butties 


so 20 minutes later st aidens 


re found the little gull in black pipe bay cracking bird in a plumage ive not seen before a 2nd winter / cycle looked beautiful flying 

2 black tailed godwits 

the weather got colder and dark skies on the horizon so left 

reed warbler



reed bunting 

 

on the way back to the van 2 grey partridge on the hillside 

very happy with 2 year ticks so 180  for 2022 not bad 


back to the royd for decking and fire 


takeaway pizza from hammads we shared a donner and a korma pizza very tasty got a good fire going a few beers and by 10 bed 


by 5am i was awake spring in the air 


a few coffees and me and jessie set off for a walk 


to broadhead clough 


a misty morning the higher we got 


now broadhead clough is magical and nearly everytime i visit i never see another person........the further up the path it becomes harder but its worth it 




this is a special woodland 


a wood warbler was singing and a cuckoo singing away 


we got higher up 



words cannot do it justice..........its a beautiful wood 


reaching the top........just moors 




not the easiest walk but worth it 


back after 2 hours jessie was knackered
