Nidderdale Yorkshire

 I spent a few hours in Nidderdale - parked the car by the first bridge and walked along the river towards Bolton Abbey to the second bridge. Landscapes taken with the 24mm TS lens - hence the large depth of field.  I saw all the characteristic species of the area Curlew, lots of confiding Robins, Pied Wagtail, Grey Wagtail, Red Breasted Merganser and Dipper. Lens (200 plus 1.4 ext) not long enough to do justice to the birds but a record of the trip. The Dipper was constantly dipping in and out of the water and showed the white eyelid in many images. Also saw Oystercatcher, Buzzards, Wren and, surprisingly to me, a very close Red Kite while driving.
