Rookery Survey 2009

The survey is going very well so far but there are still a few gaps if anyone else wants to get involved.
We still need help to check the following sites (nil returns are still important);
Cragg Vale
The valley from Hebden Bridge to Midgeholme (crags car park)
Colden Valley
Luddenden Foot to Boulderclough (49 nests in 1964)

I will put a summary on the blog of where we are with counts later this week as initial counts are coming in most days.

Active rookeries seem to have birds in residence all the time now, however it has also been noticed that new nests are still being built (maybe by late comers or non-breeders having a go?) So late checks before the leaves come on are most important.

No matter if you check sites where someone else has checked as it's better to double up than not at all. Many thanks everyone.
