Of note: 5 Common Sandpipers at langsett Res., a total of 21 Wheatears around the Little Don/Swinden Plantation area, 14 Crossbills inc a streaky juvenile, 21 Ring Ousels around the Little Don and Mickleden Beck, 3 singing Male Redstarts (2 in Long Moor Clough, 1 at langsett Res., several Ravens, single Dipper and at least 4 Buzzards.
At Hartcliffe a Red Kite circled the rendering plant for 5 mins before flying off west. Also of note here were 16 Golden Plover and 8 Wheatears,
Cheers
