Redwing at Savile Park

Went up to Luddenden Dene this morning to take up some fat balls and in the hope of better light. No suck luck, darl and dingey so came away after a short stay. The Northern LTT showed briefly high in the trees while I was there and a flock of redpoll flew over. Cutting through Savile Park I saw a fair sized flock of Redwing by the roadside so turned round and pulled my car alongside where they approached when someone was walking across the field. Reported 30 but it was more like 40-50 when they landed, great fun!

If Nigels 2 Barred Crossbill is refound tomorrow there could be a bit of a scrum at the weekend with Luddenden Dene and Soil Hill acting as secondary attractions. Think the Dene locals might need warning if it's refound.
