Whilst walking round the Glen there were four very noisy Nuthatch and at least eight Jays feeding on acorns. But the surprise was a male Lesser Spotted Woodpecker high in the trees alongside the park homes on the Eldwick side of the Glen and five Grey Herons were dotted at various spots in the meadows.

Bolton Abbey - 5 Brambling near the fountain. There may be more because the birds are feeding close to the side of a steep hill overhanging the river on the beech mast, and are difficult to see.
