"Observed nest material being collected by Blue Tit,Great Tit, Blackbird and Robin ,finished off with bacon butty"...I'm intrigued Mike. I have never heard of these birds finishing off the nest with bacon butties before, presumably due to a shortage of wool and feathers locally :-))
Amazing how one missed word(visit) can change a whole story.Cheers Paul.
one missed word! I saw the headline and thought you'd had an avocet at elland till 9am!
Am I missing something? Where does the avocet come into this please?

Avocet is the name of the factory at the bottom of the Angling Lake, IE the Old Kosset Carpets factory. Like Andy I saw the post header and thought an Avocet had been spotted at Elland Gravel Pits. Perhaps the factory owners could be persuaded to change the name to Cormorant instead which should wind the anglers up no end :-))
Sshh Paul - a good job my husband doesn't come on this site - he's President of Tod Angling Society!!
