I have had Raven fly over whilst watching the Grouse there in the past.

Leucistic Thrush
Leucistic thrush near Strid Wood today. It was in one of the fields to the east side of the Barden Bridge to Storriths road at the Barden Bridge end. It was in amongst a largish flock of Fieldfares which also contained the odd Redwing and a Mistle Thrush. From the size and shape I would say that it was probably a Fieldfare but it could have been a Mistle Thrush. IIRC the bird which hung around for a while at the beginning of the year was ID'd as a Mistle Thrush, so could conceivably be the same bird.

No sign of lekking but still managed a single male Black grouse plus the hoped for Raven fly over to round off the year.
Happy new year to all
Not rare, but pretty few and far between.
An adult and two juvenile were seen in Greater Manchester. Don't know if they were females or males. Will be going up finally on Thursday. Family trip to the Rotherham area and hope to get a few hours in but no sign of them on bird guides.

Good luck. There is a fair bit of snow and ice up there so people may have been reluctant to try over the last few days.

That much ? I will be on my own so don't know if I will risk it now. There is always old Moor, Potteric and Throne/Hatfield.
The path up to the shooting cabin is fine, I was there the same day that Carl took this pic .. Didn't have any ravens but a hen harrier was a very welcome sight.

Happy new year to you all. Went for the little bittern today but it was keeping its head down in the gale force wind, unlike all of us. Gave up and went to Tophill Low. Was very happy to see the velvet scoter.
Good to see you Owen. What did you decide to do in the end?

I have just joined ,I moved a few months back to Headingly and now see a lot more birds in the garden here than I ever saw when we lived nr Haworth but I don't know what some of them are,I know the usual assorted Sparrows ,Blackbirds ,Blue tits etc. and the distinctive more unusual ones ,The Red Kites and Woodpeckers etc,but there's a lot of Brown birds of all sizes in the garden I cant identify and wondered if its ok to post photos for help from members to identify them
