Bolton Abbey

Friday 11th April a.m.

I set off from home in the sunshine but arrived with mist at Barden Bridge and cold at just 3°C, however the sun soon broke through making for an enjoyable walk.  I headed towards the Strid seeing Dipper, Common Sandpiper, Oystercatcher,  Grey Wagtail, Goosander & Mandarin Duck.  It was also good to get my first Redstart at this location, this was a male singing high in a tree.  Soon after as I went in to the woodland area I heard a few Pied Flycatchers singing and saw a couple of them and was lucky to get a picture of one high in a tree.  Others here were Chiffchaff, GSW, Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Pheasant, Coal Tit and Chaffinch.
