Blackstone Edge
Sparrowhawk (record shots only)
Wheatear
Juvenile Linnet. The underparts are very streaked, and the head is buff-brown
you need to get yourself a pair of Swarovski NL pure 8 x 30 , nice and light to carry , brilliant clear optics and very good for your eyes ...worth every penny......and more..
You're a local legend Pete, got the Bird Club started all those years ago, Halifax birding and the records it has contributed wouldn't be the same without you. Don't you dare "pension off" your bins!!
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Yes, it's so obvious when you say it. It's time for me to pension off my binoculars, (now I'm in my 9th decade).
Your doing a great job up there ,,, we all make mistakes all the time......
