Todmorden

Late post: a recently-fledged Grey Wagtail chick was seen "parked" on a stone in the Calder alongside Todmorden bus station last Thursday. No sign of the parents or any other juveniles in the short time I could spare to watch.

Several Swifts nesting in houses around the Wellington Road area, and there seems to be a reasonable number of House Martins in their usual Nutfield Street nesting area. Starlings had an active nest in a gutter on Eagle Street, which I assume fledged successfully.
