Scarlet Tanager

Bird of the year for Calderdale and Yorkshire with this North American bird turning up in Shelf. A bird which I understand normally winters in South America. Well done to the finder and for those who managed to see it today including AC. MJB. JJL. and DJB. et al. Unfortunately it did not show during the two and half hours whilst I was there - similar for GS! Pleased to hear that NCD and RA  did manage to see it later on in the afternoon. Further reports in due course hopefully.

Ah below - thanks Daniel

Shame you missed it Dave, but hopefully it'll linger for you to have another go. If its been around a while, hopefully it is not in a rush to head off
