A trip around Calderdale

Went upto Bradley Hall farm today about 11am, had 1 dipper by the weir and 2 Cormorants on the river, further up river had 16 Mallard, 6 Goosander (4 Males), female Bullfinch and 4 Male Pheasant.

Heading back to the car had 3 Yellowhammers in the usual hedgerow, also a Kestrel near the railway line.

Then headed back towards Halifax and met up with Sean headed upto Fly Flatts in the hope of getting the Jack Snipe seen earlier by BS. Sean got frost bite and we both got 5 Red Grouse and a pair of Stonechats but no sign of any snipe at all.

In search of warmer climes we opted for Roils Head where we saw NickD and the Mealy Redpolls.
