After yesterday's heavy rain and strong wind, it was calm and bright this morning and ideal conditions. Five Wheatears were on the walls around Birch Close Lane and a Whitethroat was seen along the Glen Road. A large flock of over 50, mainly juvenile Goldfinch fed on the thistles at Birch Close and smaller numbers were seen at Golcar along with young Willow Warblers, Chaffinch and Greenfinch. Young and adult Meadow Pipits were very active. Six Cormorants flew over, a young Kestrel hunted and a post-breeding flock of 50 Starling roamed the meadows.

Baildon Moor area
A rewarding walk this morning in very still, steamy conditions. There were two family groups of Grey Partridge, with 13 at Farweather Farm and two adults with nine young birds near Weecher Reservoir. A female Wheatear was on the reservoir wall and nearby, a flock of 30 or so Meadow Pipits were feeding. At an area of vegetation at Birch Close a juvenile Garden Warbler was noted together with numerous young Willow Warblers. A flock of 15 Pheasants were feeding here and at nearby Sconce Lane a post-breeding flock of 21 Greenfinch had found a good food source. A family of three Kestrels were hunting across the moorland fringes and five Stock Dove, including one using a nestbox at Golcar Farm, were seen. An adult Little Owl was guarding a juvenile, on an old building adjacent to the golf course and later, behind Glovershaw Farm, another adult flew into a tree.
