BRADFORD ORNITHOLOGICAL GROUP'S SIGHTINGS PAGE
31st October 2009
Glovershaw
On a pleasant, warm afternoon, five Stonechats were noted. Three were along the Glen Road and two more in the fields by Golcar Farm. Although rather quiet, there was a good flock of over 200 Starlings and 55 Common Gulls feeding and evidence of Meadow Pipit, Reed Bunting, Pied Wagtail, Goldfinch and Redwing.

Whilst the Wycoller Ark watchpoint is in Lancashire through practicality, the birds passing over are either entering or leaving Yorkshire (BOG) and are thus very relevant to the vis team!
To find out what has been moving over the last few months or to get the latest info, visit:

And go back through the archives.
If you fancy learning Visible Migration identification, counting skills (and can get up early!) to set
up your own watchpoint, then contact me at the next Group meeting.

Glovershaw area
There were four Stonechats in the Glovershaw area today, two on the Glen Road and another couple by Golcar Farm. The most prominent species was probably Reed Bunting with a post-breeding flock of at least 12 on the bracken on both sides of the Glen Road and one or two more on the moorland fringes along with numerous very active Meadow Pipits.

Glovershaw area
There were four Stonechats in the Glovershaw area today, two on the Glen Road and another couple by Golcar Farm. The most prominent species was probably Reed Bunting with a post-breeding flock of at least 12 on the bracken on both sides of the Glen Road and one or two more on the moorland fringes along with numerous very active Meadow Pipits.
