Birdwatching

With a pair of binoculars, you can watch for birds anywhere in the area.
If travelling along the country lanes, you are likely to find that the pheasants will walk across in front of your car or bike.
The twite breeds in moorland areas locally, as do peewits, which can be seen feeding on the farmland.
The RSPB site at Old Moor Wetlands is a popular stop-off for overwintering birds, and there are excellent facilities for visitors.
