Has anyone any knowledge of a Dec. Greenshank in the archives.
Ive been back through old reports from BOG and HX and the latest I can
find is BOG.. Lindley Wood 30/11/1990.
Todays bird at Fly was an adult in very pale grey winter plumage.
It was heading towards Blackstone,Whiteholme area,I was hoping it would end up at the " With ". BS

Had a quick look at Nick Dawtrey's "Birds of Halifax", no mention of any December records in there (or November either).
Got a copy of that here, even looked at some old Hx Sci Soc records. It was certainly something I never expected to see this morning
latest is 29th October 1995 at EGP
a really good record brian,reminds me of the black tailed godwits(60+) last year at elland,goes to show patch dedication in all weathers pays off in the long run.
Have you checked the With today Darrell
Hi all
Obviously I am not qualified to comment on the unusual nature of a December Greenshank in Calderdale. But this has been the weirdest ever year on record for late,early, extra brood, completely out of the regular flight season, etc, etc, year for moths on record (and many other inverts). I am therefore not that surprised at Brian's sighting today. We have had extremes of weather this year but no one in the moffing world seems to be able to explain why this year has been so bloody dramatic in terms of weird records. It appears that most vertebrates do not exhibit such dramatic fluctuations as invertebrates but perhaps whatever happens now we should not think of it in terms of being that "unusual" anymore.
There seems to be a few odd december wader records ie,Blk t godwits,Greenshank(nice one Bri) ,i had 2 Ruff a couple of years ago at northowram cricket pitch in with the lapwing flock so keep your eyes peeled.
I know it sounds daft for Calderdale but did you eliminate Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs Brian ?
Unfortunately it was a Greenshank Nick, if it had been a Lesser or Greater Yellowlegs Id still be jumping up and down now.Aparrently there has been one or two sightings over the weekend but mainly coastal birds.
FWIW Brian Armitage confirms that the latest record for the Huddersfield area is on Nov 12th and that was in 1962.
Pretty good record for Calderdale I'd say!
