Shelf Moor/Green Lane

                               Lots of Woodpigeons in the silage fields

                        Across the valley to Swalesmoor
                                   Several Greenfinch
          Dense trees in Shibden Valley

After getting my errands done at Shelf I came home via Green Lane after Tracys Little Owl but no sign in the rain.  The Shelf Moor pair havent been seen this year.
Two Curlew at the top of Shibden was unusual but probably joining in feeding in the fresh cut silage fields along with corvids, Lapwings, Woodpigeons and Starlings.
Several Greenfinch were around the hawthorn bushes as well as Blackbirds and Mistle Thrush.
