​Altham. River Calder.
Monday 27th May
Fine slight Drizzle at 8.0pm

A party of 10 left The Walton Arms and walked the short distance down to the River Calder. We looked over the bridge and was surprised to see Common Sandpiper, Kingfisher , and Grey Wagtail. What a start. We walked along the River and was joined by 3 more members.
Did the usual walk to the bend and looked around. Could see 4 female Goosander’s just around the bend that took off as soon as we arrived. It started to drizzle so that was our cue to retrace our steps.
Most of the party retired to The Walton Arms for a well deserved drink after another visit to a lovely area.
