Cold Edge and Withens Head

This morning trying to catch up the butterfly survey, just can't seem to pick the right day for them.... too wet, come cloudy, too windy, too cool. Guess that's the order of this summer !
A good show of Stonechats with 1 male near the top dam with at least 2 juveniles then a pair at 'The Withins' with 3 juveniles.
The best bird though was a Yellow Wagtail that flew right over me to land in a wet field with horses. Just at the side of the Calderdale Way footpath. A really smart looking adult but just too far away for the bridge camera. I checked the same field again 2 hrs later but think it must have moved on. We don't get many Y wags in Calderdale nowadays, unfortunately.
1 Kestrel
1 Willow Warbler
Lots of Swallows and Meadow Pipits along with a few Linnets and Goldfinch.
