Various sites this afternoon

Shibden Valley - at least 6 House Martins in a sheltered part of the valley opposite the Shibden Mill Inn and a Sparrowhawk also seen there. Lots of Beech mast arround so could be good for Chaff's and Bramblings in the coming months!

And from Tony M and Steve L
c100 Golden Plover at Ringstone this afternoon
12 Grey Partridge and 2 Swallows at Scammonden
A large raptor was also reported by some walkers from Elland GP today - it headed up towards the Shibden Valley but we have no further details.
