Lower Gorple

A short walk from the car park to Lower Gorple dam this evening, c.7pm. I highly recommend it! Loads of great birds to see in such a short distance, and sights that people from outside of the Pennines would be very jealous of.

- 7 male wheatear
- 36 golden plover
- 12 (?) snipe, chipping and drumming right over our heads
- 2 common sandpiper
- 2 redshank
- 1 male stonechat
- 3 greylag geese
- 1 short eared owl
- 7 curlew
- 19 lapwing
- 20+ meadow pipit
