Don't know the site very well Andy - Mike Stead might know.

Probably the best site we have for an early Wheatear rather than up on the tops at the moment.

The only footpath is around the far side of the wood,from Clough Lane up to Whiteacre Pitts farm.But doesn't give much clearer views of the rookery !

Andy
When you are coming from Halifax on the A649 towards Jay House lane just where the road splits into a dual carriage way there is Harefield farm (and farm shop) A track which is to the right of the farm takes you down to the wood. Last year there were 20+ rooks' nests there.Mr Gibson is the name of the farmer, he usually does not mind.
