Hi sarfraz

 

Is this the first Dipper to be recorded on Holden Wood ?

Can't recall one being mentioned

 

Cheers Craggy

Hi Craggy,

I have seen a few before whilst others have seen more. There are two particular spots where they favour and one is the dam at southern end which I barely ever check. The other place is at the top end where the stream flows from Ogden - I have seen them here a couple of times. The bird I saw actually flew to the bottom end. I know Kevin and probably others have them more regular than I do. The number of Cormorants must be a record though!
