Cold Edge

Pair of Whinchat feeding at least one recently fledged young near Cold Edge this afternoon and a pair of Little Owls also feeding young.

Also lots of young Linnets and young Swallows about, which is encouraging.

Has anyone found any Stonechats locally? There were plenty about during the winter but they seem to have moved out - of north Halifax sites at least!

Thought it was just me. Had several around last year with at least 3 successful pairs pretty close by, but where they were we have none this year. Haven't seen as many on my travels either compared to last year.

At least two pairs at Withens Clough.

I've seen Stonechats recently on Rishworth Moor.

2 pairs of Stonechat at far end of Widdop Res had at least 6 young between them.

Haven't seen or heard of any in north Halifax, but there was a pair in June near Gorpley Res. beyond Todmorden.
