Walk Ogden Water to Thornton Moor and back

A magnificent sunny day on the moors. Several groups of grouse heard and one group seen. Nine goldeneye on Thornton Moor reservoir four male and five female togethor with circa fifty black headed gulls. The first curlew of the year circled before nearly landing on a sheep but no calls. A female kestrel perched on a ruined farm building. In addition several crows and magpies togethor with a small flock of jackdaws.
