High Royd - passing visit 1:30pm

12 or so teal still remaining
1 moorhen
2 goldcrest
2 long tailed tits + usuals

An unseen woodpecker was drumming in the woods behind the road, and is definately worth investigating further, as I certainly couldn't be sure it wasn't a lesser spotted. Unfortunately, just as I was tracking it down it was disturbed by a dog walker and not heard again.

A surprise considering the time of day was a bat sp. (presumably pipistrelle?) hunting over the canal and the rough field behind it. Finally, a roe deer was lying down in the woods behind the houses.
