I’m still a fan of nature
On Thursday morning on my walk through Robert’s Park I learnt something about Crows. I knew that they were black but I didn’t know that they also had black tongues. I have also learnt a bit more about Herons, but more on that later, at the moment we are still on Thursday. On Thursday evening…

A few from Robert’s Park
If you have read some of my previous posts you will know that I quite like the walk through Robert’s Park morning and evening, and very often lunchtime too. The height of the water going over the weir varies tremendously, as does the noise it makes. On Monday lunchtime it was bubbling over the weir. And…

The weekend on Baildon Moor (20-21 May 2017)
It’s a while since I went up onto Baildon Moor to look and listen for the wildlife. So this last weekend I went up around Glovershaw and Golcar Farms, the north west corner of the moor. And I wasn’t disappointed, even if I did get wet on Saturday. Earlier it had been a bright day…

River, Canal and Robert’s Park
We in Baildon are really fortunate to have the river, the canal, Robert’s Park and Baildon Moor within such easy reach. I frequently take photos of what I see on my walks around the place and this week has been no exception. A Nuthatch looking as though it is listening for insects under the bark…

Birds. Prior to the Dragons on Saturday
On Saturday, before going down to Robert’s Park to see the Dragon Boat Festival, I went on a short Ingress adventure for Magnus Builder but took my camera with me. Driving along the narrow Esholt Lane I got a quick glimpse of what looked like a Mandaring Duck on the river so I quickly pulled…
