Ringstone
Just passing Ringstone at last light, stopped and it looks like the 11 Whooper swans, I'm guessing the same 11 as last time??, were back on
Thanks Phil - Andy clocked them low over Northowram soon after 4 pm this afternoon and they were found by Roger at Ringstone soon after. Whoopers usually come through earlier than this so they are a late grou,p back on there way - probably Iceland bound !
Had a look at Ringstone today first thing , 3 Willow Warblers , 2 Chiffs , 2 Oycs , 2 Swallows but no gulls......Amazed by the numbers of lapwings in nearby fields....
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Plenty at Pike End as well Andy though someone was shooting up there on Saturday so that will disturb them !
