An hour or so on the hill top there this afternoon.
Many of the fields had been freshly cut and long grass left in rows though I suspect after the very wet day on Sunday that the farmer had not had the right conditions to bale it up. The Meadow Pipits (100+), Skylark and corvids were making the most of the abundance of food in among the rows in the warm sunshine.
3 Stonechats nearby, 40+ Goldfinch, and 30+Linnets were also making the most from the fence lines.
1 Sparrowhawk buzzed through as well as just the one Swallow and a Buzzard was calling from Shibden Valley.
Also along the nearby lanes 3 Small Copper butterflies and a Red Admiral.
