2 Golden Plover at Withens Head and just 1 opposite Nolstar - but no sign of yesterdays Dunlin.
A few Swallows at Cold Edge and a single Wheatear with a few Willow Warblers about singing.
Pair of Kestrels bonding and a Little Owl in the usual spot.
Barnacle Goose still at Cold Edge latched on to a Canada !!
Pair of Ketrels - male at the top - showing the differences in the under tail pattern between male and female !

Been what I think is an Osprey around for the last couple of days over Old Town Hebden Bridge. Thought it was a heron at first, but it has the wrong flight characteristics, also it was being mobbed by crows.
Interesting - did you gat any photo's ?
Unfortunately not, but the camera is now poised for action......of course, I won't see it again now!
Nice kessie shot Dave
