River Dearne, Storrs Mill

35 Meadow Pipits were feeding on pastoral land and a pair of Grey Wagtails were getting ready for breeding.

News of Dave Standring's passing is very sad. Dave was a true gentleman and a pioneer of birding in Barnsley.  I know he was a great influence on the 70's generation of birders including Keith Bannister and myself, who looked up to him for guidance. He was always willing to come and verify any of the trickier species when we were still learning.
R.I.P. Dave.

What a shame. An exceptional man with many interests and a very dry wit.
