Great stuff Moley
Very quiet around here but we did hear a singing dipper on the river yesterday plus there’s reports of early pinkies over in Calderdale area
Got a resident sparrowhawk who must keep his eye on the back garden, and on an almost daily occurrence, stops by and picks off an unfortunate sparrow for a snack...
And now a pine marten + red squirrel on another camera.
Great stuff. We keep thinking about setting up wildlife cameras. I think we'd just get hundred of pheasants round here.
This morning whilst stood at a neighbours door a gang of Long-tailed Tits landed on a bird feeder, containing a number of fat balls,only an arms length away. I kept still and watched and listened to them for around five minutes. I counted eight of them at any one time but there were more, coming and going very quickly from a bush about 8 feet away. A wonderful sight.
This evening, on my way home from Matlock, a big fat healthy looking Hedgehog scurried across the A6 in front of me.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Close encounter with a number of leeches on the LDMT on sunday, after falling in a bog...
