Jumble Hole / Underbank

8 willow warblers
2 sparrowhawks high over mobbed by corvids
+ usual woodland stuff
6 curlew over Erringden
4 curlew at Badger Lane towards Blackshaw Head
4 lapwing & 3 skylarks, 2 grey partridge also at Badger Lane
Woodcock roding this evening

Dozens of swallows (now c.60) still feeding at Callis Sewage Works, but very few house martins as yet.

Also of note, I have been told of a regular nuthatch at Mayroyd Hall, Hebden Bridge (not far from train station) which as far as I know is a new site for this spreading species.
