Shipley Glen
Male Lesser Spotted Woodpecker was drumming on a horse chestnut tree along the Higher Coach Road. It was making a call similar to a Green Woodpecker. Five pairs of Jay were disputing territory and making lots of noise as they flew constantly across the Glen. A pair of Grey Wagtails on the Glen Beck, a pair of Coal Tit, three calling/singing Nuthatch, a Treecreeper, a pair of nesting Mistle Thrush, a pair of GSW and a Green Woodpecker made up the pick of the birds.
