BTO Atlas

A 2 hr tetrad survey this morning in the area just to the west of Sowerby Bridge (including part of the canal and High Royd sewage works) produced 613 individuals of 30 species.
Count highlights included;
24 Teal
93 Jackdaws
40 Robins
49 Blue Tits
27 Long-tailed Tits
27 Great Tits
2 Treecreepers
1 Goldcrest
87 Feral Pigeons!
Only 3 Wrens - which was not unexpected bearing in mind all the freezing weather we had in December.
