Glovershaw and Shipley Glen
The interesting weekend continued with another good passage of migrants and post-breeding flocks of passerines. In a hedgerow alongside the 'horse-field' a group of 20 or more Willow Warblers passed along before diving for cover into ferns. A Whitethroat attended to a couple of juveniles and a female Redstart flicked its tail and fled amongst the cover. Further along at Golcar, three Wheatear and two Whinchats were feeding and the moorland fringes were alive with gathering Meadow Pipits. At Brackenhall, Tawny Owls, disturbed by Crows, could be heard making contact whilst a Green Woodpecker flew over the Glen.
