Bet you wish you,d gone this morning.
Looks like Wheatears are building up now
A big number of Swifts - 100+ over the Kirklees Hall estate this morning, too. And if anyone's got £7,000,000 to spare, the whole estate is up for sale....
where is hunter hill? does anyone know any nearby shooting estates, still after both species of partridge!
Soil Hill is the best place for both partridge
Hunter Hill is the one behind (to the north west of Mixenden Res'r) but access is best on the Calderdale Way from Cold Edge Road - park by Nolstar Kennels. Both Partridge species are there only occasionally but Andy is right!
Thanks guys, will give soil hill a go
