2019 a great year.....

Well that was a great year bird wise locally with Roller and Nightjar being the obvious highlights , but 2 great finds in Purple Sandpiper and Rock Pipit , a massive dip with Great White Egret ( so close )

and the one that got away Montagu's Harrier will have to go down as Harrier sp( Im sure it was ,  but not just enough to rule rule out all other species)...My Calderdale year list ended up on 142 (not bad with no birding in December) , with Hobby over the cricket pitch at Northowram , Green Sandpipers and Whimbrels  at Ringstone , Lower Gorple being Lower Gorple.....Little Bustard , Baikal Teal and Thorne Moors ...White -letter HAirstreaks at Northowram , Acleris Logiana and Shoulder Stripe at EGP....

Happy New Year everyone
