Stoodley Clough, Strait Hey, London Rd, Lee Dam

Took a walk around my local patch at long last today:
2 Blackcaps and 3Willow Warblers at Stoodley Clough but still no Chiff Chaffs.
Garden Warbler in the wood at Strait Hey.
There are plenty of Meadow Pipits along London Road now.
Lee Dam was busy this morning with 2 Little Grebes, a pair of Tufted Ducks, a single Moorhen, 4 Mallards and a Willow Warbler plus all the usual suspects.
A flock of 9 Long Tailed Tits came through the garden this afternoon in the sunshine and stayed around for about 5 minutes, making a lot of noise before passing on.

Nice little haul there Jeff (welcome back) especially the Garden Warbler (they seem to be scarce this year away from Elland GP)
