Rombalds Moor 23-02-2008 continued


Little Skirtfull of Stones, Burley Moor (c) 2008

A wander round Rombalds Moor today again seeking out some old stone friends, 1100 - 1715hr, SW F4-5, misting rain at times. Conditions not right to see the birds but a Wren was at Horncliffe Circle, two Greylags were near Horncliffe Well, a Carrion Crow was over Bingley Moor, a pair of Stonechats were on Hawksworth Moor. Several Mallards were on Lower Lanshaw Dam and thats about it for today!! in poor conditions. No vis seen at all today.

Ashlar Chair ? now recumbent, Bingley Moor. Stated to be a relic of Druidism; in shape it is like a couch or chair (certainly looks right!!). It is at the boundary of four lordships: Bingley, Burley, Morton and Ilkley. (c) 2008
