Further information from Glovershaw, Baildon.
On a bright afternoon, ideal for birding, there were at least 160 Golden Plovers in the area, with a flock of 85+ near Birch Close Lane and a similar flock in the 'horse-field' along the Glen Road. A Little Owl was sitting in the sun near Glovershaw Farm, two Kestrels were hunting over the moorland fringes and about 40 Lapwing were dispersed around their breeding areas.
