Two fantastic days birding
Two fantastic finds at the same site, unbelievable good fortune. First I found Halifaxs second ever Woodlark at Tower Hill, Norton Tower yesterday afternoon (last one 1953)Then today I returned with DF but no sign of the Woodlark, instead we flushed a pipit. We both thought it to be a very large pipit and alarm bells began to ring in my head. I think its a Richards I said to Dave and we rang it in to BS to put out on the grapevine. After a while longer we relocated the bird and heard it calling, also Dave got some record shots. We both believed it to be a Richards Pipit and when JB arrived with his super scope we confirmed it. First Record for Calderdale, photos of the pipit to follow. WHATS NEXT IN STORE???

Great stuff lads, I await your call in the morning with your hat trick Nick.
Still pinching myself, I can not believe it both at the same site. Think alot of Budweiser will be sunk tonight.
Just brilliant Nick!
Amazing finds !!
Amazing finds!!
Unbelievable. What a year for Calderdale. I think the recent East Coast migrants (Carter & Cox) might be coming back here for twitches at this rate!
Line something up for Thursday & Friday please Nick.
Absolutely brilliant Nick.
