BUZZARD Brookfoot/EGP
1000am this morning flying towards Elland chased by 4 crows,also 5 Teal, 3 Goldeneye, 18 Tufted and 4 Great Crested Grebe.
A good sighting , Mike: I was there yesterday am and couldn't see much in the snowstorm ! But 2 Little Grebes and an interesting pale-ish female Mallard with a very bright Orange bill - possibly a hybrid ?
Hi Mike. The pale hybrid Mallard has been around for about a month always on the river.14 Goosanders were on the river last week but all have gone at the moment.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,
