A beautiful autumn day and a walk through soggy leaves and squelchy fields. Eight Grey Partridges, nine Lapwings and 20 Common Gulls were feeding in the fields by Golcar Farm. Three Stock Doves flew by, a Kestrel patrolled along the edge of Baildon Moor and there was still evidence of Meadow Pipits and a Reed Bunting on the rough ground.

On a pleasant, warm afternoon, five Stonechats were noted. Three were along the Glen Road and two more in the fields by Golcar Farm. Although rather quiet, there was a good flock of over 200 Starlings and 55 Common Gulls feeding and evidence of Meadow Pipit, Reed Bunting, Pied Wagtail, Goldfinch and Redwing.
