Luddenden Foot

This lunchtime along the canal between Luddenden Foot and Brearley. Plenty of mallard on the temporary lake between the river and canal plus a couple of moorhen.

Large number of BH gulls (30ish) and jackdaws (20ish) on the flooded fields towards Mytholmroyd.

Robins singing, blue and great tits, kestrel hunting along the canal, 2 dipper at L.Foot on the river, male goosander flying towards Mytholmroyd.

Good to find some Dippers Ian. I have been up Luddenden Dean several times and they seem to be absent from the usual spots - similarly absent from Ogden and Wheatley Valley so far this year.
