where is Wind Hill Wood please.
Coming from Bolsterstone towards Barnside Moor the road (Long Lane) passes Whitwell Moor on the left. Before the road dips sharply there is a car park. Looking towards Barnside Moor there is a path on the right that leads to some small crags (Wind Hill Crags). Wind Hill Wood is below (behind Barnside Farm).
Hi Martin, Daubententon's habitually skim the water rather than flit around the trees like a butterfly
I'll bow to your superior knowledge Cliff. I aint no batman, Robin.
This was a site we surveyed for Nightjars last summer and we got nowt - maybe we were unlucky!
