Quite possibly were Golden Plovers, there's been a flock of at least 85 a few miles down the valley at Hellifield Flashes.
"very little else about apart from some grouse"; generally not much up there at this time of the year. It is a heavily keepered area (grouse shooting moor) so very little chance of spying a Hen Harrier.
