Going quiet at Slate......

Yesterday I had a few bits and bats as follows: Starling: 4NW, Pied Wagtail: 1, Siskin: 1, Meadow Pipit: 25 plus another 80 blogging, Goldfinch 30 blogging party, Chaffinch: 3, Skylark: 1, Greenfinch: 1, BHG: 53, Mistle Thrush: 2, Stonechat: 2, Great Spotted Woodpecker: 1......

Things have been going quiet at Slate, after all its that time of year once again. Also most other stuff, especially the flora now seems well spent....so I will be turning the bulk of my attention to the Haslingden Grane to register counts of migratory thrushes over the next few weeks, has they past through on a East - West corridor.. So I would now expect very little will be recorded on the Top O'th Slate site for a while, although I will try and get some photos on from time to time.... Please keep checking...... thanks...
