Request for HELP from the Stop the Calderdale Wind farm Campain..

 Would it be possible for you and your fellow birdwatchers in Calderdale Birds and other local ornithology groups to help with the Stop Calderdale Wind Farm campaign? As the ground-nesting birds are now back in residence on and around the Walshaw Moor Estate, it would be helpful to record as many bird sightings as possible in this location (including Hardcastle Crags and Crimsworth Dean) so that we have evidence of their numbers and diversity. Could you flag this up amongst your networks and encourage local birdwatchers to visit Walshaw Moor as often as possible over the coming months to record and photograph as many birds as possible.

 

As well as recording sightings on the Calderdale Birds blog, it would be helpful if sightings were recorded on the BTO's BirdTrack website, then they're more widely available.

 

I'd also be really grateful if people could send us photographs so that we can put them on the Tweet of the Day page of our website www.stopcalderdalewindfarm.co.uk/tweet-of-the-day. The way for people  to do this is to sign up to the mailing list on our website, then send photos as jpeg attachments to the confirmation email they will receive or by replying to our newsletters.

 

The more evidence we can collect and record over the coming months, the better, so it would be really great if you could spread the word.

If you are for the wind farm..please do not comment..there are plenty places to comment if you are in favour..I dont think this is the place to start a pointless argument for the for and against ..

Thanks
