Yet more photos from a three walks along the River Aire, through Denso Marston Nature Reserve<\/a>, and along the Leeds Liverpool Canal – 20,22 and 23 April 2026. They are not in any particular order though the image description says where they were taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The header image is of a pair of Swans on the Leeds Liverpool Canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual you can tap\/touch\/click on an image to see it in better quality in the carousel gallery with an\u00a0i<\/em>\u00a0for more information. I certainly recommend looking at them through their gallery. And if you like what you see please click on one or more of the\u00a0Share\u00a0<\/em>buttons at the bottom. Why not subscribe so that you get an email when I post again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I now need to get on with posts about last weekend’s walks with Bradford Urban Wildlife Group<\/a>, and the RSPB Airedale and Bradford Local Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The small birds are certainly belting out some good songs. Wrens are amazingly loud for their size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunnocks seem to smarten themselves up for the breeding season and a quite tunefull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was lucky to spot both male and female Blackcaps. I did expect the females to be tucked away in the low vegetation with their nests and possibly eggs. The males still singing to keep invaders away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
