Grasshopper Warblers singing as I took an evening constitutional. I've wondered for a while wether they were Grasshopper Warblers so I checked on RSPB site. Clear as a bell same as the example on there!! Must have been three or four, possibly a couple more. Didn't realise they were on the Red List!!
did an extended kentmere horseshoe last night, approaching high st fron the north a large bird of prey flew over wall and circled round towards kidsty pike. golden eagle? i know one/pair used to nest in the haweswater area
a pair of buzzards circled overhead yesterday as I did my hill reps on Lightside (Glossop) - they were seemingly enjoying the heat and thermals to gain height, and I saw a curlew too
Swifts have arrived (I see DT spotted one a few days ago). Several birds whizzing around Downham at the start of the Pendle Cloughs race.
Great stuff wharfee. I haven't seen any more since those by Silsden Res but I've been lookingQuote:

Saw the Deer again one morning last week and managed to get a good photo as well as a video. Once I manage to make it the correct size I will post it so we can find out what kind they are.
Also saw my old mate the Heron on the canal near Copley (Halifax) first time since last year.

I think I saw/heard a Sedge Warbler tonight on my evening meander! Checked as best I could with RSPB site again and seemed to be nearest to the audio's on there! Not counting it as a definate though!
Meadow Pippit, Skylark, Curlew, peewit and heard my first Cuckoo. Nice.
Heard a cuckoo...and I think saw it too! It was about a week ago though! :)
