Glovershaw and Shipley Glen.
About 30 Lapwings were on the ground in the Glovershaw area where they have established their breeding territory. Snipe could be heard from the boggy areas along the moorside and five Curlews were seen flying overhead and feeding in the fields. Skylarks were also heard and up to six were feeding where the fields had been manured. A few Meadow Pipits and Linnets were noticed and a pair of Stonechats were seen, all these birds moving northwards. A pair of Grey Wagtails were using the quarry at the top of the Glen. They bred in this area last year. The rookery at Eldwick is in full swing with nine nests now established and a Green Woodpeckerwas heard in the vicinity of Crook Farm.
