Went walking with my wife up the Dunsop Valley in the Forest of Bowland AONB.
As we set off it was a beautiful sunny spring morning. Above us we saw buzzards, crows and gulls. In the stream there were mallard and in the trees we could hear goldfinch, goldcrest great and blue tits while a party of long-tailed tits flew in front of us.
As we reached the head of the valley a group of birdwatchers walked quickly by on their way to Whitendale farm. I took the left fork of the stream and very soon saw and heard a dipper in the water singing away. I returned to my wife who as observing four oystercatchers in the field close by. As we returned to the village we saw 50 fieldfare in a tree. After a pleasant walk we went for a snack and cup of tea at the Post Office before driving home.
