Thursday 18th April a.m.
A frosty overcast morning with a start temperature of 3°C as I started my walk alongside the River Wharfe. A Common Sandpiper was my first bird shortly followed by half a dozen noisy Oystercatchers and a Redshank. Walking through Strid Wood five Pied Flycatchers were seen as well as Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Chaffinch and Song Thrush. On the River there were Goosander and Mandarin with a Dipper looking on and a Grey Wagtail flying down stream. Others seen were Sand Martin, Greylag, Pied Wagtail and a Green Woodpecker was heard.
