As many birds have now left the moors because the breeding season is over, you can
\nstill enjoy finding birds elsewhere around the fringes.
\nLook for hedgerows which contain a good variety of bush and tree and it is likely
\nto be full of berries. These provide an important source of food for birds at this
\ntime of the year. Try and do any bird watching in the morning looking out for areas
\nof hedgerow facing the sun and out of any prevailing wind. Elderberry, Hawthorn
\nand Blackberry all provide fruit which birds will seek out. Blackbird, Song Thrush,
\nGreenfinch, Bullfinch and Robin are likely to be seen.<\/p>\n
Other birds are seed eaters and October is a month when thistle, dock and
\nmeadowsweet are available for the birds to take the seed. Watch out for Bullfinch,
\nReed Bunting and Linnet with Goldfinches sometimes in flocks searching the fields<\/p>\n
These are just a few of the birds you can expect to see out and about Baildon Moor.
