These are some photos from a few minutes in Shipley and a walk round parts of Bingley as an outdoor session with Bingley Camera Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The header image is taken from the footbridge over the canal behind Killips Carpets looking to Gallows Bridge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual you can tap\/touch\/click on an image, not its caption, to see it in better quality in the gallery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shipley<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On my first pause in Shipley I watched some Sand Martins flying around on the canal just next to the Otley Road bridge, next to AKA Automative. I didn’t see them head into a nest but did spot what looked like an abandoned nest. Goose? Swan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then went into Potter’s Pits next to Shipley Station. Platform 4 is being extended and new emergency exits created so there are barriers on the way to Potter’s Pits though not preventing pedestrian access – at least I was not asked to leave. I heard Wren, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Robin, Blackcap, Blackbird, Crow and Magpie. I spent a bit of time watching a bust that had the song of a Blackcap coming from it but nothing was visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then went to have a look at the bit of waste land at Fox Corner, where the cinema used to be. After the cinema burnt down and the area cleared of rubble it grew into a nice wild area where I have seen lots of insect and bird life. The vegetation is now cut down so that the electronic advertising screen can be seen from the road. As a result the area doesn’t seem to support much wildlife now and rubbish is being thrown onto the site. I did spot quite a few areas of Kenilworth Ivy though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then went along the fence in the McDonalds Carpark looking at Bradford Beck. The yard on the other side of the Beck has a couple of rotting boats and several old fuel pumps. Price per litre \u00a31.21 so not very old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Beck I spotted a Grey Wagtail showing quite a bit of smart yellow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bingley<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That Monday night was a meeting of Bingley Camera Club where we split up into groups and went out into Bingley to take photos and share ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using a phone the caption can take up most of the space of the thumbnail so you might find it easier to turn your phone to landscape to open the gallery. I am hoping to change that for the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
