    A fox half way up the big end of Pendle this morning. I don't know if it was doing hill reps or foraging for food
    No country for old men.

    A question for all you twitchers.

    Whilst out running y'day...i passed a small flock of birds ive seen before but no idea what they are.

    They are maily black, abit bigger than a blackbird but with huge wings. The underneath of their wings is white and their call reminded me of a dogs toy being sqeeked.

    Relatively large flocks of Grouse have been a feature of recent local moorland runs

    Where were they Al? On the ground, up a tree, by water?
