I will be up the last weekend of November. I have just done a search and Old Moor is a cracking place with thousands of Golden Plovers. There are a couple of Dotterels nearby too. I notice the Tree Sparrows are in their hundreds so I should be okay there. The RSPB website gave a good coverage too. It is under development but the good thing is the cafe is still going.

(although to a Devonian, the surroundings might look a bit inauspicious in industrial South Yorkshire

I used to pop up to Sheffy from Wolves during my uni days to play for a five a side team called Tetley Rovers and loved the 'industrial' sights of South Yorks. Prepared to be shocked, but I felt I was 'back home' just a wee bit as my family are from Yorks. Actually the real reason was the Stones Bitter

I will be up the first weekedn of November. I have just done a search and Old Moor is a cracking place with thousands of Golden Plovers. There are a couple of Dotterels nearby too. I notice the Tree Sparrows are in their hundreds so I should be okay there. The RSPB website gave a good coverage too. It is under development but the good thing is the cafe is still going.

Do you mean the last weekend, Andrew?

There isn't a cafe as such at Old Moor, although you can get various snacks and hot drinks.

Perhaps this should really be under the Old Moor thread! Sorry birdman.

Yes Diane, well spotted! I did mean the Last weekend of November. I looked it up on Streetmap and boy there are a lot of puddles there!
