Ringstone 17/10/10

Texted DJS at 09:15hrs to inform him that Shoveler and Wigeon were at Ringstone early this morning as I realised that Shoveler is uncommon in Calderdale. Took a few shots from the roadside but really needed an ace digiscoper or someone like Nick Dawson to get a decent shot as it was always distant.



The Shoveler and Wigeon eventually moved a little closer but still too far away for my equipment but heavily cropped shot attached 'for the record as they say'.



34 Pink-footed Goose flew SE at 08:37hrs over the reservoir, around 60 Golden Plover and 26 Lapwing also present plus 1 Great Crested Grebe.

Thanks for the info Dave - I passed it round on the grapevine. I like the Golden Plover shots when blown up look really good.
