Em_jay_ess and myself explored what i believe is a culverted section of Haige Beck which runs down through Thorpe Edge estate, Idle. The section of drain we explored was directly beneath Robin Mills at Greengates.

After searching online and finding no evidence of this ever been photographed and therfore having no name for it we decided to call it 'Robins Trumpet'.

Nice find, and great photos too!

Those white tufts in the first pic, are they roots or some kind of fungus?

Great shots chief...Robin's Trumpet sounds dirty...as in "Sorry I'm late vicar I've been blowing Robin's trumpet and had to wipe myself off before evensong"

I not quite sure, some kind of bird maybe trying to nest? Looked to be made of tissue torn into thin strips. Interested to know myself if anyones seen anything like this before?
