A dull morning with a temperature of 3°C at Dowley Gap,Bingley as we walked along
the side of the canal with Mallards & a Greylag present.At the water works there were
a few BH Gulls & we saw Mistle Thrush. We took the track down towards the aqueduct
seeing Wrens,Pied Wagtails flitting about.In the settling tanks we saw c75 Pied Wagtails &
2 Grey Wagtails.We moved on to the Aqueduct but this is now closed off for renovation work
so we looked upstream of the River Aire and saw 5 Goosander & several Mallards on the
opposite bank.We then caught sight of another duck which was diving and after watching it for
a while realized it was a Little Grebe, then a party of 6 Grey Wagtails landed in a tree on the
opposite bank.We watched these for a while then a walker appeared which scattered them &
a Kingfisher also took flight and so we headed back to the car.
