Calder Valley

We had a walk along the canal betwen Hebden Bridge and Salterhebble today.
Surprised not to find any Redwings/Fieldfares/Siskin or Redpoll ! To make up for it a female Sparrowhawk was hunting along the canal and flushed 2 Blackbirds and a big female Peregrine went high over Luddenden towards Sowerby
2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers around Mytholmroyd
1 Dipper at Luddenden
32 Teal, 2 Coot, 2 Grey Herons and 1 Snipe at High Royd
c250 Mallard along the length of the canal
