    Hello I'm new to the forum

    Hi Robin James, welcome to Bird forum, hope you enjoy it here. Tree sparrows are one of the species that are increasing in numbers (albeit slowly) so they are probably common to your locality. Hopefully you will see more than one at your feeders soon.

    LSW

    I knew about the Otley site but never visited it. Temple Newsam woods used to be good, as did Adel Dam. Had one drumming in Roundhay Park a few years ago but not heard anything there since.

    LSW

    LSW are hard birds in Yorkshire, I'd be interested in info on this as it is a few years since last I had a Tyke LSW.

    Herons

    Pugney's Country Park is just off the M1 at junction 39, the A636 goes straight into Wakefield. Take the third exit at the second roundabout after leaving the motorway, for the country park. There is a small nature reaserve there with a hide.

    Herons

    Sheffield Isnt too far from the Rother Valley Country Park, you should see them there. Going North you could try RSPB Old Moor or Potteric Carr for them.

    Herons

    Hi there Facet, welcome to Birdforum, you don't say whereabouts in the county you are but seeing a heron shouldn't be too difficult. Head for any large stretch of water that has shallow edges and preferably some scrubby grassland around it. Heron's feed by hunting in the shallows and in the...

    Hi twitcher, welcome to Birdforum, hope you enjoy it here. Whilst there is a subforum for all things Yorkshire Here it may possibly be too far to make for a good day's birding for you as there are few bird reserves between the South of Yorkshire and Derbyshire.

    Juvenile sparrow in winter?!

    BWP lists April as the earliest for egglaying so would be extremely unusual to have a fresh juvenile at this time of year. The plumage looks a bit too old for a fresh juvenile, eye stripe too strong etc. Could well be a female fledged last year that is a bit smaller than the average.

    That is the normal appearance of the wings, hence the name twenty plumed moth.
