Other news today

2 Yellow Wagtails at Walshaw hamlet this morning at the lower end of the track leading up to Shackleton Knoll (Pete Gr). A very good find - as far as I am aware this is the only record this year in Calderdale for this species which has become rarer over the years.
Lots of other birds in that area including Starlings, Pied Wagtails, Goldfinch, and Chaffinch's...

Also at Ogden a Common Sandpiper this morning  together with an unidentified Ringed or Little Ringed Plover ta the north end.(BH) but both species were absent later on in the day after a check by NK
