"Blackmoorfoot Reservoir 1985-2003"

Blackmoorfoot Reservoir lies in the shadow of the Pennines south-west of Huddersfield. It is important both for the number and variety of birds it attracts and because it is one of the most regularly watched and systematically recorded sites in the area.

It therefore provides a valuable insight into the birdflife of Huddersfield and how it has changed over this period.
