Various bits

Jumble Hole Clough - 2 woodcock roding, 2 tawny owl calling. 4 male blackcap, 3 willow warbler, 4 chiffchaff. 1 dipper, 1 grey wagtail.
My garden (also Jumble Hole) 1 blackcap, 1 chiffchaff, 1 bullfinch, 2 collard dove, 4 jays. Large raptor through yesterday pm being mobbed by a carrion crow. Raptor was c. 50% bigger, fought the corvid off with its feet, and was in partial moult. It stayed in total silhouette the whole time, so was very hard to positively ID, but marsh harrier was the most likely. Moved east towards Heptenstall.
Mytholmroyd - 2 dipper on Elphin Brook
Todmorden Sport Centre - 10 house martin, 16 swifts, 2 blackcap.
