When I arrived at Rodley just ten minutes from Yeadon the temperature had risen to 8°C and the sun was still out. A good variety of birds here seen from the various hides on site, good to hear and see the return of a couple of Chiffchaffs and a Cetti's Warbler was also very vocal and was seen briefly when it came out from the reeds. A Red Kite was overhead and a Kingfisher flew across the River Aire. Others seen included Chaffinch, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Snipe, Oystercatcher, Gadwall, Shoveler, G.C.
