Beacon Hill & Shibden

Walked home from Halifax over Beacon Hill, mainly to get sunset photos over the town centre. Flushed what I think was a partridge (judging on the size, shape and way it flew) from Barrowclough Lane.
1 little owl at the top of Pump Lane.
6 wrens
4 robins singing
Then, in Shibden Park, I saw something I hadn't seen before - one of the local moorhens roosting in the trees. It flew off to another tree as I walked by, then back again as I progressed past the lake. I'd always assumed they roosted on the lake with the ducks.
