Midhope and Broomhead Moor

Midhope
2 Ravens, plenty of Meadow Pipits, Snipe, Lapwing and Curlew, 6 Greylag Geese. 1 Kestrel was the only bird of prey seen here.


Butterflies- Quite a few Green-Veined Whites


Broomhead
A couple of hours at the shooting lodge provided more birds of prey with 2 Buzzards, 1 Peregrine and 1 Red Kite. Also seen were a male Ring Ouzel, 2 more Ravens, Willow Warbler and plenty more Mipits. A cuckoo was calling in Ewden Valley.


Butterflies- Another Green-Veined White, Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock and my first ever Green Hairstreak
