Moorland Rough-legs.....

Viewing over Agden and the Dukes Road area a Rough-legged Buzzard showed well, although distantly over Agden (and outside the BBSG recording area)from 14.45 to 15.15. It looks like a adult female and was clearly not one of the juveniles being seen up here. Sheffield birders have seen this over a week ago and thought it a adult female too. It or another Rough-leg was seen over Cowell Flat earlier in the day in Ariel combat with a Red Kite! The Great Grey Shrike also visited the Barnsley area again this morning at Cowell Flat. The gull roost on Broomhead Reservoir wasn't...- only about 120 Black-headed Gulls came in by dusk. Goosander 9, Mallard 91, Teal 4, Tufted Duck 2, Moorhen 12 were on the Res.
