Pied fly anyone?

I know the season isn't over, but has anyone seen any pied flycatchers in Calderdale this year? We have one record of a female at the Crags, but I'm not aware of any more sightings??? Let me know if you know different

Don't know of any I'm afraid Matt, did anyone get to do a thorough check of the nest boxes we put up?

I did a check, though I'm not sure I'd call it a thorough one! There was nothing but tits in the ones I saw being occupied. There one was right by where the female pied fly was seen that had been damaged and predated by a woodpecker.

Graham also checked some of the boxes (not sure exactly which ones) with similar results. Ah well maybe next year!
