We remember with affection when Yorkshire Wildlife Trust worked with our conservation group in managing the bio-diversity in our nature areas in Low Moor & Oakenshaw.
I also remember when Peter Gurney from the trust stated ” Shall we erect some Bat and Bird boxes on site? ”
Brilliant was my reply…
Well one of the boxes was for Stock Doves. Thankfully we have about 8 of the species that feed at Caldene fields.
I have kept an eye on this nesting box over the years with no sign of the doves nesting.
Well that was until today! The bird at this stage may be investigating the box but I’m hoping that a pair breeds which will be great news for our area!
