Great raptor day

I'm currently sat viewing 2 valley's and so far it's been a good day with displaying sparrowhawk, plus a min of another 2 which didn't display, 4 common buzzards, 2 ravens directly overhead, 1 kestrel also singing nuthatch and my first moorland curlew of the year. A distant flock of lapwings with a distant probable golden plover flock. Anyone wanting to join me feel free to text or ring me for exact location.

Great to have the first moorland Curlew of the year Andy, and on such a clear morning with a lovely blue sky as a background too. I'm still waiting for mine so send a couple over will you please.

Had four Curlew at Walshaw earlier today plus several Lapwing but no Skylarks, meadow pipits or other passerines to speak of. 60+ Goldies at Ringstone this afternoon plus a Goosander.
