November /Pine Marten

 The Great Northern Diver at Ringstone was the first decent bird locally for a while.(nice one PD and LD) ..A couple of Hen Harrier sightings from Lower Gorple and a Woodcock flew over the garden on Saturday morning .The odd flock of Pink footed Geese east..A half decent move of Woodpigeon totalled only 6,600 birds. 

   Hen Harrier , Peregrine , 2 Barn Owls , 3 Woodcock , Kestrel , Greylags , Mallard , Common Gull and BH Gulls at Lower Gorple...




This photo of a Pine Marten was taken in Calderdale in August /September time ...Brilliant
