The Breeding Season

As from now until the end of the breeding season birds of a sensitive nature will be omitted from this blog due to a small percentage of undesirables who take their pleasure from egg collecting, nest destroying and the killing and trapping of birds.
Reports of non breeding birds moving through the area will still be published. BS

Shelf Moor , Corporal Lane

Sunset over Shibden

The Lapwing flock around Shelf Moor tonight was very mobile and about 40 strong tending to stick to fields nearer to Shelf.
Several Linnets were about along with a flock of 15 Goldfinch on thistles in the Hawthorn field.
Corporal Lane held 12 Mistle Thrush and 23 Magpies whilst a Green Woodpecker was calling from the valley.
A Little Owl was calling near the bottom of Deanstones but couldnt be found in the fading light.
Very little signs of vis mig over the village today other than a few Mipits >SW.
