As it was such a good days weather and after we had returned to the cottage for a freshen up after the mornings fantastic walk,we decided to head over to Burnsall and complete one of our favourite walks up to Linton falls and back along the Dales Way.
We started from the bridge that goes over the Wharfe at Burnsall and made our way along to Hebden,crossing the little suspension bridge over the Wharfe and then continued up to the lovely falls at Linton and then retraced our footsteps later.
The section of the River Wharfe we covered today,is a personal favourite and has been very productive for birds in the past for us.Today was no exception,but with less waterbirds observed,possibly due to several people swimming in the river,particularly at Loupe Scar and Hebden.
Best birds seen today included 3 Kingfisher,a Redhead Goosander,4 Grey Wagtail and a female Mandarin on and along the River,with terrestrial birds in the adjacent trees and bushes including 2 Green Woodpecker and 9 Spotted Flycatcher,the latter including 7 together along one fence at Linton.
The following are my favourite photos from this lovely walk.
