Cold Edge Road etc

3 Dotterel still showing well on and off in the same field as yesterday. Best spot to see them is just 50 m or so down the Calderdale Way footpath, heading east. View the field to the left with no need to enter the field which is private land with sheep lambing.
The birds can be hard to locate at times when they are at rest but patience pays off - well, unless they decide to go !
Also around 20 Golden Plover in the area as well as the occasional Lapwing and Curlew.
Also a Common Buzzard over late morning, a few Swallows and a Sand Martin over >NE
