I passed the new West Yorks Police dept this aft.. ( it's between North Featherstone and Normanton ). ... there's a pond opposite it which regularly hosts 50+ Grey lag and loads of gulls, but nowt really special it would seem........
.................... But this aft. there were 5 lads with scopes/binos etc. So does anyone know owt, if owts been seen that would cause this "mini-twitch" there....??
I'm curious 'cos it's one of my local patches....?
Cheers Joe
Boro Birder, I assume Geoff was referring to the BK at Shaw Farm in the far reaches of Arkengarthdale near The Stang. It sounds like the numbers have increased considerably since I was last there 5 years ago. Might be worth another visit.
We could always plan a trip Ken, far enough for us both, been to the Stang a few times and surrounding area but for me that is Teesdale/Durham Moors area not North Yorkshire???

Sorry I've not been back sooner,northernloon is correct with the area. I know its not North Yorkshire but I went to Langdon Beck last Friday and the views there were excellent.

Is this still around?? I've to be at the City & Guilds building on Thursday for exams so might have time to catch up with it while I'm in the area. Any pointers where the lake is in relation to C&G (WF1 2UN) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
Richard, I think post 20706 on this thread explains where it is. reported at lunchtime today, so good luck!

Hi Geoff, thanks for putting my straight on this, I was wracking my brains and almost certainly doubting my knowledge of the NY Moors National Park, lol.

Shaw Farm in Arkengrthdale is in Yorkshire in the Yorkshire Dales NP. The county boundary is a mile or so North on the watershed heading Stang direction.
Good numbers too at the mo around Punchard Gill, all viewable from the road to Tan Hill.
