Following the posting to the Baildon Moor website by Shaun Radcliffe about Winter Thrushes I decided to have a walk round part of the moor myself today. Shaun mentioned Meadow Pipits going into the grass to feed. I saw a few fly away as I was walking along but I did hear quite a few…

Taking the photos is often the easy bit, the time consuming part is going through them and deciding which to keep.
