heard green woodpecker close to upper Hagg wood on 1ST,found blackcap on path yesterday-window crash sadly,treecreeper,GSW and 2 nuthatches today in Honley wood. 4 tufted on Windy bank res.
Stopped feeding a while back because a cat was grabbing the birds,not able to shoot it like the squirrels so had to purchase expensive ultrasonic device from RSPB.I had a cheap one years ago that kept 3 of the neighbours 4 cats away,The 4th was white and the notes with this scarer inform me that white cats are deaf to these ultrasonics! |

Out from 07:15 this am. Quick call at Ingbirchworth where Greenshank and juv. Shelducks.
Spent a few hours at Scout Dike - 11 Herons ( 6 down and 5 over) was a patch record for me, but totally eclipsed by 9 Yellow Wags in a field on the S side, doing what they should by feeding around cows' feet - without blowing my own trumpet, this must be one of the best counts in Hudds in recent years, also single Greenshank, juv. Ringed Plover, and Lesser 'throat. A Common Buzzard flew E at c10.40 hrs.
At Royd Moor Res. - 49 Greylags (yawn) another record count for me oop here. Common Buzzard S at 10.34 hrs.
An hour or two then at Hartcliffe Hill with another 3 Buzzards (two towards Cranberry and one over Langsett), but hardly any passerines.
Anglers reported a swift at Scout Dike yesterday (3rd).
