    Three dippers on yesterday’s dog walk - one on the Worth and a pair on the beck

    Great tit very vocal everywhere, mistle thrush and a nuthatch too earlier in the week. Definitely a feel of spring in the air

    5 more mountain Hares over the weekend.
    Very noisy in our garden the last few days with bird song

    Did you see the Country file on why Mountain Hares are a problem for driven grouse moors in Scotland. Another incidence of me shouting at the TV. What a load of bollox from the Gamekeeper.

    Whilst doing the New Chew on Sunday saw a Dipper in Crowden Little Brook (approaching control 'P'!) and I'm pretty sure there were Golden Plover calling up on the moor.

    Curlew definitely heard (but not seen) in this corner of Yorkshire this p.m. Counted 20+ Oyster catchers in a field in Winterburn on Friday!

    Yeap. Been hearing and seeing lapwings for the last couple of weeks in the north Pennines. They don't seem to have set up territories yet. Also heard an Oystercatcher in the heart of Spennymoor industrial park this evening, as I returned to the car - really incongruous.

    A Little egret in the field at the back of our 'ouse. It follows the Highland cattle around the field, feeding on invertebrates disturbed by the cows' hooves.
