Other news today

From TM and SL - Male Wheatear (locally first of the year as far as we know in Calderdale) this morning at Dean Head above Scammonden along with 2 Stonechats and 6 Goodsander on the res'r. Always special to pick up the first Wheatear! This must be one of our most prolific migrants both spring and autumn and not many stay on to breed in recent years!

Another excellent record today was from NK with a cream crown Marsh Harrier south through the coll between Soil Hill and Ogden at 11 am today. See queensburybirder.blogspot.com for further details.

And from Mike at Bradley Hall Farm - another Stonechat along with 11 Yellowhammers this afternoon.
