A glorious day but evidence of the recent hard weather was still
visible on the distant Pennines looming above Pen Hill.
On the river I added a pair of Common Sandpiper to my year list...
And by the railway crossing I had my first Whitethroat of
the year (it is one honestly!)
The muck heaps are no more but the fields here turned up
another couple of Wheatear, two Yellow Wagtails and a handful of Skylarks. One
of the latter unusually stayed still long enough to be briefly photographed…
As I crossed back over the railway I saw two Rabbits chasing
a Stoat along the line. It ran almost to my feet before veering off into the
brambles.
