No sign of the Northern Long Tailed Tit's today, the only flock we found were all British birds however some good birding with plenty of common species about and a Woodcock flushed from the top of the Dene and two skeins of Pinkfeet over, about 150 heading west at 14.32 with another skein of about 70 a few minutes later
earlier we saw a very large skein of about 200 birds high over Mixenden (seen from Ogden) at 13.05

was at jerry farm and had the half two pinkies. No LTT at all.
Went up with NCD this afternoon but had no success either....no long tails at all.
Two NLTT were spotted on a feeder at the top end of the Dene this morning
Not sure how long everyone has been spending especially up the very top end but I suspect that the birds are on a large feeding circuit which takes them up the river and into Castle Carr Wood itself, I suspect that several hours may have to be spent stood in the same spot, assuming the birds are still there.
Where exactly are these birds hanging around? Lower Lodge? Catherine House Farm? Spa Wood?
Which side of the valley? Cemetry side or Jerry Farm Side?
Tit flocks can be pretty mobile and cover a fair amount of ground, but tend to follow favourite feeding circuits. Having a bit more detailed info would really help track their movements.
Also went up there this morning, walked up Jerry Hall side and saw no LTT. Location of the feeders would be appreciated, would be happy to put up some suet balls nearby.
I did obviously mean Jerry Farm not the super model doh!
I think with the birds being seen on a garden feeder it would be unfair to stake this out - also if the birds are anything like the LTT's I get on my feeders they will come and go quite rapidly
there are large areas of habitat in the Dene and it is probably pot luck if you find them but lets all be careful not to disturb any of the locals, they may take the feeders down!
