What a slog this was in brilliant sunshine, I wonder how I'll manage in 30 years time when I reach 70.
Cross Lane: Blackbird, Skylark, Reed Bunting, Swallow.
At this stage I'll mention that not a single House Martin nor Swift was seen throughout the trek.
Shibden Head/Valley: 2 Green Woodpecker, 1 each GSW & f Sparrowhawk. Several Blackbird, 3 Song Thrush, c13 WW, 4 Blackcap, 6 Chiffchaff. The real success story was 9 singing Whitethroat.
Also 3 more Swallow seen and plenty of Linnet.
