The Moors Today

A very poor day for raptors;-1 Buzzard, 1 Peregrine, 3 Sparrowhawks and 2 Kestrels were the reward for 9 hours looking!! A minimum of 3 Ravens over Midhope and 59 Curlews down in fields here were good. Snipe were chipping at Midhope and Golden Plovers were displaying over Ewden. A male and a female Black Grouse were on the moor at Ewden Heights.
A goose flock at Scout Dike held;- Canada 254, Greylag 2 and a presumed Canada/Greylag hybrid. Also 23 Curlews were in fields here.
