Cheers James.
Would be interested in an answer to the above. :t:
It may be a simple answer but despite an internet search I still can't find it!
A reply has been put on the Yorkshire thread. Looks like the simple answer is, they just go the signs wrong, they should read Old Fall.
I've always understood it to be New Fall Hedgerow and Old Fall Plantation - in theory birds fresh in find the hedgerow and eventually move to the wood, so the signs are correct to refer to New Fall as it's the footpath down the field to the cliff.

Bah humbug
You're saying that when a fall of birds occurs they know to land in the 'new fall' location and when they've been there a while they can then move on to the 'old fall' location to make way for new arrivals? Like it :t:
No..........I'm saying that this is why the landmarks are so named historically. Although if you care to test the theory holistically the Yellow-browed's that are found well inland probably arrive first on a coastal headland. New Fall Flamborough / Old Fall Birmingham. I have seen birds reorientate to the deeper cover Old Fall Plantation affords, but yes birds will arrive there.
However they're just names. Pleaae don't be disappointed if you don't see an Icky on every visit to Icky Ridge.
