Heard and saw a great spotted woodpecker on first ascent of Herod Farm race route. On checking book at home I see it was a female as no red on nape/head
Golden plovers up on Birks Fell, upper wharfedale. A haunting kind of sound, lovely.
over 15 mountain hares today...they are every where...
2 golden plovers and I heard but didn't see a curlew
In the garden the Woodpecker keeps eating all my fat balls...ooer...
HPM recce yesterday between Bleaklow Head & Bleaklow Stones, I was pretty sure I heard a Curlew a couple of times, but thought it might be a bit early for them. Maybe not...
Badger crossing the high street in Marple, in broad daylight up by the canal, good way of getting flattened!
Did Curbar and Froggatt edge in the dark the other week and saw deer, dozens of them - I've run that route in daylight for years and never seen a single deer before. Are they hiding deep in big moor by day?

About 30 curlews in a flooded field near Newgale beach, Pembrokeshire at 0715.
