Arrivals and Departures

Jay House Lane fields held three Curlews this pm -a very early sign of Spring ?
And there were 30 Redwings nearby, which probably won't be around for much longer.
Also in the fields, 200+ BH Gulls, 80+ Starlings and 10 Lapwings.
A Treecreeper gave great views further down JH Lane, and a Grey Wagtail was at Bailiffe Bridge.

This am at Coach Road, Brighouse were 2 male Lesser Peckers with a male GS Pecker, 25 Redwings, 2 Mistle Thrush, Nuthatch and another Treecreeper.

Great do with the lesser peckers Mike. Must try get up there soon.
Any sign of Tree Sparrows or yellow hammers up round your patch?

I checked Woolrow Farm, Friday for T Sparrows, but no luck.
But the resident on J H Lane had a flock of them around the usual gardens in the morning.
Only one possible Yellowhammer last week - flying from hedgerow at Bradley Hall Farm.
