Copper lane, west of Whitefield is a private road for cars,but you can walk down from Old Hall lane, off the A667. It leads to Hurst farm, 50yds from the farm turn right to Hurst wood. Buzzard, woodcock, linnet, brambling in some years and the odd yellowhammer. I,ve not found tree sparrow here, they may be around farms near Outwood, at Clarks Hill, off Copper lane. Shore Top was the nearest site for tree sparrow, but no sightings since 2002 .To see Copper lane on the map look for Ringley sewage farm, its just to the north.

No such place in my (admittedly rather old) street atlas - well, not Whitefield, anyway. Nearest place for Tree Sparrow is Bowlee, probably.

what do people think of this place, there have been tree sparrows and reports of buzzards in summer. If you have visited here what have you seen ?
