Swifts/Swallows/Martins survey

Thank you to those who have passed on records of nesting birds during this last week. We now have over 100 records in the data base - and the rest of the summer to go.

We have some big gaps from areas that need visiting so please send your records in as you find them. They can be sent to jane or me direct on the above email or to Calderdale Countryside Service Tel 01422 393233 or email countryside@calderdale.gov.uk

Obvious gaps where we have had very few or no records are
Illingworth
Hebden Bridge
Brighouse
Rastrick
Elland
Halifax (town centre)
Northowram
Southowram
Copley
Mytholmroyd
Todmorden etc....

House Martins are the ones we are struggling to find - in very short supply!

Thank you - Dave

Any chance of anyone checking out Fletcher Crescent off Slade Lane in Rastrick?
A few weeks ago I had a lead from a member of the public who reckons there is a Martin colony there. Unfortunately, I have not yet got round to chasing this up.
