Moorland news 24-2-13.
Low moor/ midhope- 2 ravens, pike lowe area, 2 crossbills over calling towards langsett + 1gbb gull. Then did dukes rd. triangle. No sign of any bullfinchs at mortimer rd. and nothing to report on dukes rd. The gloom was soon lifted by a pair of short eared owls flushed from the gulley south of the shooting lodge. They only flew a short distance before getting back down to roost. A very pale buzzard near the lodge looked good, but the tail didnt look right by which time there was an howling hail storm and the wind was incredibly cold. 2 buzzards in the distance a short time later looked like commons so i assumed it was one of those. Maybe better luck next visit.
