Still no Shrike after checking out the last couple of days.
A single Goldcrest was seen in Dalton (upper). I am sure this bird was a migrant. I have never seen them before so far up.
Still really quiet with Mipits, did have about ten over two hours. Also one Skylark. Had some great close ups of Green Woodpecker, with at least 5 yaffling birds in the area.
That most beautiful of grasses "Purple Moor Grass" is showing in several places.
Thats about it for now.

This weeks migration returns have got poorer by the day, with little to
shout about today beyond a *Black Tern* through at Ferrybridge, a *Short-eared
Owl*...
