now 2 firecrests at Redhouse
From Rare Bird Network;
YELLOW-BROWED WARBLER at Leeds, W. Yorks. this PM. On Clarendon Road by Leeds University Business School.
I did see the report but was hoping someone on here had seen it or knew a bit more information than that
Is the Red House Wood mentioned a few post ago the one near Moor Monkton near York? If so, where is a good place to park and what's it like underfoot (ie. are wellies essential?). Thanks.
Just in from visiting Adel Damns this morning and surprise bird of the day was a woodcock which took off from cover within the reserve and flew in the general direction of Breary Marsh. If I hadn't stopped to count a flock of redwing I'd have missed the bird completely. Site tick - just got to hope I can find the thing again when patchwork challenge restarts in 2014.
Keith I've seen birds roding over Golden Acre Park lake in summer months.
You seem to know what you're talking about Ken.....
Hope not from experience..............:-O

There's a thread on BF somewhere about hide etiquette, one of the posts in the thread gave a website where once you entered your location it advised you of the nearest al fresco naughtiness sites. For Leeds one of the main areas turned out to be the Arthington Road Car Park for Golden Acre Park to which Ken was alluding. Hopefully I shouldn't meet any of those sort of people if I park further down the road by the entrance to Adel Dams.
I'm actually more worried about meeting smackheads than k***heads.
