Latest sightings

John B had a Whimbrel at Ringstone last night and Nick D reports two Redstarts at Roils Head today, yesterdays birds were both female types whereas one of todays was a young male suggesting either three birds present or movement through the area. Nick and Roy also checked Elland GP for the swallow roost and found approx 1000 birds present, a number which should increase as autumn approaches. Anyone thinking of checking this roost is advised to take insect repellant, apparently they are very bad at the moment.
