Dotterel search draws blank

Checked a couple of likely Dotterel sites today, High Brown Knoll and Great Manshead but sadly nothing, in fact not much anywhere I visited today apart from a male Mandarin at Ryburn and a few pairs of Stonechat around. Five twite in the Midgley area.

One former site I didn't check was Sowerby Crow Hill, there was a trip there in the eighties (I think)

Going by Hx Scientific Soc there was one at Fly Flatts in 1916 but I dipped on that one.Theres some ideal habitat for them on the track from Fly to Cold Edge with bare patches in the heather so you never know.

I'll try and do Crow Hill in the next couple of days. I've covered it for the last few years running (with no luck!).
