Stockbridge Reserve (members only) - 31 species this morning including singing Willow Warbler, Blackcap & Chiff-Chaff. Also 8 Sand Martin flew west. Wren building a nest in the gorse, female Goosander entering Stock Dove nest box & Goldfinch gathering nest material. 4 Lesser Redpoll were on the trees next to the river & 3 Kestrel were together looking at the nest box. The two males both individually went into the box calling whilst the female stayed on a nearby tree, only to fly off after a few minutes. We live in hope! A Snipe was flushed. A pair of Bullfinch seen plus a few Reed Buntings.
Bingley - Willow Warbler opposite Bingley Grammar School. 3 Chiff-Chaff at Bingley Bog North.
