Hardcastle Crags

BTO Atlas survey today in tetrad SD92Z
No exceptional highlights as the area was fairly quiet now with very little bird song
Green Woodpecker - nest with 2+ young ready for fledging (they look quite reptilian), Sparrowhawk, Grey Heron and Kestrel all feeding young
3 Nuthatch
1 Siskin
1 Chiff-chaff
4 Blackcap
1 Treecreeper
Only 3 House Martins!

Well done Dave. I completed SD92K late breeding visit over the weekend (Warland res etc.) and just have 2 more to get done over Elland way - then we can have a rest before the early winter visits start!
