Rishworth Skywatch
Been looking up often today from the feeders and doing 'Gardenwatch' a Buzzard Mewing over SE 13:48. 1 Oystercatcher NNW Calling 15:17. Were the only bits of interest apart from the local rookery throwing sticks left right and centre for the past week.
Hi Edward. We usually do an annual Calderdale wide Rookery survey. We have called it off this year with the 'lock down' to avoid travelling around to 50 or so Rookeries but if you're passing please get a count of what look like 'active' nests and let me know. I think you are referring to the small colony by the bus turning ? There is another larger colony just up near the play area on Rishworth New Road. No problems if you can't. Thanks Dave
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 ,
