These are a few photos from a visit to Baildon Moor early in May 2026. The header image is the only one I edited into a shape that better suits a header, it is a view of the wind farm and shows one of them facing in the opposite direction to all the others.
As usual you can tap/touch/click on an image to see it in better quality in the carousel gallery with an i for more information. And if you like what you see please click on one or more of the Share buttons at the bottom.
Birds
One of the things I enjoy on Baildon Moor this time of the year is the drumming Snipe and I am quite pleased with this photo of one of them. At Rodley Nature Reserve and to some extent High Royds pond I have had decent views of Snipe wading but hearing them drumming as they fly around and dive is quite special.
The others are Oystercatcher in flight, singing Wren, female Stonechat, male Stonechat, Whitethroat, and Willow Warbler
Wings
Orange-tip, and Red Admiral butterflies.
