Ripon.
Last year on a day out to Ripon a birder mentioned
that he’d seen a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker where the rivers Laver & Skell
meet by a wooden bridge west of Ripon. So we had an hours walk keeping any eye
out for the LSW but no luck.
Birds seen:-
Grey Heron, Blackcap, Pr. Moorhen with two large
footed chicks, Greylag Goose, Marsh tit or Willow Tit.
Song Thrush. Chaffinch collecting feathers.

In the afternoon I had a scout about in Birkham
Woods nr Knaresborough.
Dipper with a nest in the river wall feeding
young.
Marsh Tit seen and heard calling. Wren. GSW.
Moorhen. Buzzard overhead. Goldfinch. Greenfinch. Nuthatch. Chiffchaff.
Two Jackdaws were standing on a fallen tree
looking forlorn - presumably they had a
nest in the tree.
Red
Kite on the way home.
An odd looking black growth on a tree.
