No shortage of Spring sunshine in a pleasant walk through this less than genteel terrain. There was however a notable lack of birds at times e.g not a single House Martin back on this late date.
I managed a pr Swift at the Northowram edge of the valley with a total of 10 Swallow throughout.
8 Whitethroat incl 2 at Deanstones Lane, 6 Chiffchaff, 5 Blackcap, 3 WW, 1 Garden Warbler. 1 each Sparrowhawk & Green Woodpecker. Several Goldfinch, pr Linnet, Song Thrush, Bullfinch.
