With thanks to Nick D for locating this Wood Warbler in Crimsworth Dean yesterday. We re-located it this morning near yesterdays spot - singing on and off but with quiet spells in between. A tricky one to digi-scope but just about managed to get a couple of half decent shots of it in the canopy.Wood Warblers over recent years have become very thin on the ground, similar to Redstarts. Both were much more common around Calderdale in the summer months up to around 10 years ago, lets hope the decline starts to reverse very soon.
Plenty of Willow Warblers in the dean along with 1 Chiff-chaff and 2 Treecreepers, Nuthatch and 1 Sparrowhawk over.
Lots of butterflies around today in the lovely weather.

Good one Dave, you did well to see it, never mind photograph it.
Just been struggling to video this little beauty.....very active high in the canopy...I'm surprised you managed to digiscope it AND at eye level. Well done Dave.
