Opportunist

Not as exciting as watching my girl ride a pedal bike for the first time, which is what we were out for, but managed to sneak a few wildlife shots inbetween the excitment as we walked along the bike track at Salterhebble....
Wren which was singing it's heart out in the tree above.

Peacock butterfly sunning itself on the wall.

Elland Gravel Pits

Had a quick stroll round EGP this afternoon with my lad, a few of the highlights below....

Image quality not too good today due to poor light and trying to snap while keeping up with the boy on his bike.

Not sure of this one...

Looks like a Whitethroat...

First Buzzard spotted...

Soon joined by another...

Local Heron flying over the lake with a twig for the nest?

Our Frog friend

Finally snapped the little frog in our garden pond today, he's (I'm presuming it's a he...) a bit camera shy, and generally ducks under water when we pass by.

We did have 2 more frogs in the pond but they died over the winter :O(

Filey Bay and Bempton Cliffs

Headed to the East Coast with the family last weekend, a few snaps whilst fossil hunting at Filey Bay and on a visit to the RSPB site at Bempton Cliffs...





Ryburn Reservoir

Passing Ryburn Reservoir on the way back from Rishworth Moor...
 Lots of young fish trying to swim upstream, no idea about fish maybe someone could ID them?

 Bluebells starting to bloom.

This Heron landed along side the Reservoir only to be attacked by a Crow!

Rishworth Moor

Took an early morning walk over Rishworth Moor yesterday with Drew. A few pics taken on the way round...
