Broomhead Shooting Cabin 07/10/2012

A belated report due to time constraints ;-)

Myself and Mr U Tyke spent a few hours over by the shooting cabin on Broomhead Moor ..

Results were;

2 stonechats, c24 mipits, 1 peregrine, c11 common buzzards, 7 ravens, 3 kestrels, 3 sprawks, 2 flocks of pinkfeet .. first one was c70 birds heading West at 2:34 and then another flock of c200 in the same direction at 2:45, a flock of 8 mistle thrushes and then a hobby which treat us to an impressive aerial display as it tried to take a butterfly ...

It made a nice to be able to stand there without the wind howling around us  (apart from the odd blast of the remnants of Mr Tyke's Saturday night out) ..
