Good to be back!

For those that wondered where I'd disappeared to, I have had a bit of a break from birding over the last year or so, for various reasons, but I had kept touch with the Blog with great interest until June, when my new computer seemed to leave me unable to log on. I've finally changed email address and regained contact - I'm now on philwoodtod@taltalk.net if anyone wants to know.
The omens are good for this year - Ive had Dippers in Todmorden and Sowerby Bridge town centres, and a brief walk around Centre Vale Park did bring a Treecreeper amongst other common stuff.
Here's hoping for a more productive year!
