Norland Moor

Report to Nick Dawtrey of a WRYNECK yesterday afternoon at 3 pm in birches.
Area checked this afternoon by TW/AC/NCD/NR/DJS et al without success so far. This is a very rare bird in Calderdale so well worth having a look for this evening or over the weekend!.

From the car park opposite the Moorcroft Pub go straight up the moor to the top of the hill. The bird was seen around the ridge to the right of the quarries in the birch trees. Apparantly it gave clear views including sitting on a branch of a birch turning its head from side to side.

Also present on the moor edge:
1+ Wheatear
200+ Meadow Pipits
1 Reed Bunting
2+ Kestrels and a few Swallows
