Monday 2nd November a.m.
A bit cloudy this morning with some sunny spells and a temperature of 8°C as I started out at Barden Bridge walking alongside the River Wharfe an through Strid Wood. The highlight of the walk was seeing c100 Mandarin Ducks, a couple of Dippers were seen and overhead a Buzzard and Red Kite were seen. Others during the walk were Goosander, Grey Heron, Chaffinch, Brambling, Coal Tit, LT Tit & Great Tit.
