Up the valley ...

Another glorious day up the Little Don valley and had it all to myself once again.
Highlights included; male Cuckoo, 5 male Redstart, 4 Spotted Flycatcher, Woodcock, Tree Pipit, 3 Stonechat ( 2 male), Common Sand 2, Dipper, Merlin, Buzzard and  Red Kite (came in from north and then headed west up valley at 09:35). Also Water Vole in Mickledon Beck.

Never had Water Vole up the Little Don before - good record.
I've had Water Shrew at Swinden Plantaion in 2010 and 2011 so worth keeping an eye out for them.
