High Royd

Couple of hours this morning turned up some additional species, 2 singing male Blackcaps - the first was on the canal not far from the Puzzle Hall Inn, the second by the house at High Royd itself. Also 2 male Bullfinch but the real surprise was 8 Jays which were flying around in a gang all the time I was there calling away in a manner I've never heard before. A pair of Canada geese were also a irregular sight on the pools themselves. Habitat is looking good for allsorts of arriving migrants but the water level is dropping, sadly.
