Friday 23rd July

Glovershaw, Baildon Moor

Breeding birds were prominent within the area with juvenile Meadow Pipits, Reed Bunting and a family party of Linnets along the Glen Road. Another, similar group of Linnets were feeding in the gorse at the end of Birch Close Lane where a Whitethroat was also seen. I'd seen another Whitethroat on the Glen Road and a family of Great Spotted Woodpeckers near Crook Farm and from the Glen there was a weak, but persistent call of a Green Woodpecker.
