Shipley Glen

Green Woodpeckers have again successfully bred in the Glen. A juvenile bird was seen near Brackenhall whilst an adult was calling from nearby. Another adult was similarly calling from about half a mile to the north in a part of Glen that is narrow and inaccessible . Near this point a family party of Jays were active with two juveniles being noticed. Another young Jay was seen behind the Old Glen House. During the walk two family groups of Nuthatches were also watched.
