The two Canada geese have arrived back on Wadsworth moor to raise another family. Never sure if any of them survive from previous years as I have never seen more than two of them at a time, probably too traumatised from all those fell runners chasing them.
lots of swallows and swifts around Glossop, and I think I saw a a few sandpipers on Featherbed Moss, Snake summit on saturday. was so focused on it having a beak that definitely wasn't a curlew that its colours slipped from mind. definitely a longer beak than a golden plover.

probably a snipe. I've seen a few around there in recent weeks.
I was up teaching a Nav course on Bleaklow today, burnt and blown dry, lots of Cloudberry plants in flower, curlews and golden plover were every where. Surprising dry up there.
Roe Buck at Posforth Bridge yesterday, not a bad set of antlers on him. They're not so frightened around the Strid Wood, even during busy afternoons they still come down.
Not a snipe, beak was about half that length
wont be dry after tmo if forecast comes right!
Cuckoo seen in glossop, took a lot of patience and stealth! Bet you walked right past it IDP
Nice one Hes. Was it alone?
I finally saw 2 in Scotland last week... so happy now
Sure I saw a slow worm on Loughrigg at the weekend. Think I've seen one in the past near Rydal Hall as well.
Yes Andy on its own. It stood really still for about 5 minutes while we were admiring it and taking pictures. Its blogged hereNice one Hes. Was it alone?
