Itinerary description

Taken from 2019 Bradford bird report

PIED FLYCATCHER Ficedula hypoleuca Although, in recent years, this bird has become a common breeding summer visitor, this year’s records don’t reflect this. Up to 13 birds in Strid Wood produced only one breeding record, and the only other specific information came from Timble village, Low Wood (Riddlesden) (one pair at both), and Folly Hall Wood (eight pairs). The extensive information previously provided has clearly dried up, but there is nothing to suggest a crash in the breeding population.

Folly Hall Wood SE190515
This is a small wood, mainly oak and birch, some two-thirds of a mile below Swinsty dam adjacent to the river. There is one public footpath running through it.

This is a spring/summer stronghold for Pied Flycatchers and Redstart the former having assisted by nest boxes. Both species may also be commonly heard/seen along either side of the river at this point.
