I could be wrong, but I believe that's the first whitethroat of the year in Calderdale Mike.
Hi Mike
Could you keep a close eye on the swans please. We had some problems with a badly injured female swan from the angling lake a couple of years back which had to be put down by the RSPC.
I have a recollection that there was a report of someone attacking the swans down there some time ago, one killed?
Hi Nick
The difficulty was in proving it. I did try at the time to get witnesses to come forward but for various reasons they would not so the culprit got away with it. Thats why I hope people will keep an eye on them and the other birds on the angling lake
Fri AM. at 0630 they were on the fishing lake and at 0915 they were on R.Calder at the back of the recycling centre and they have made one visit on to the Ski Lake but I will keep a close eye on them I amalso posting photo on blog for ID.
