    About 5000 frogs on Ilkley moor this afternoon, mostly in and around the tarn. Looks like a good year for them

    one ran across the strines road in front of me this morning, never seen one there before. Looking out the window from home at sunset this evening there was loads of bats, I've seen the occasional bat but never so many?

    I saw a frog on a track just outside of Glossop (nr Mossy Lea Farm)...was on a night run and my torch beam shone on it, I ran past, then doubled back to check what I'd seen. never seen any there before...and it was a way off (in comparison to it's size) the nearest water

    Several chiffchaffs herard this weekend plus one spotted down by the Wharfe this evening. We also saw a pair of oystercatchers getting it on in a field :thumbup:

    Out for a little trail run today enjoying the Blackthorn in bloom and quite a few butterflies (Tortoiseshells + Peacocks) sunning themselves on a sheltered path.
