General Observations

I've noticed a lot of jays the past week or so on my commute through Shibden Park into Halifax. At one point there were 6 "singing" in one tree. Also great spotted and green woodpeckers flying around.

The tawny owls are also pretty active at the moment.

The hawthorns in the valley have a good crop of berries on them as do the rowans in Sainsbury's car park and the streets around.

I thought the house martins had left our street but there were 3 flying around this teatime.

1 chiffchaff singing at the weekend.
