I went up there this morning with Dotterel in mind - no luck there today. I searched the same area where I found 2 in May 2005 - can't believe 20 years ago .....though the vegetation has certainly increased since then making a search quite difficult with very few bare areas.
What a beautiful day to be out in the hills with wall to wall sunshine and a stiff easterly breeze on the top there. Not a lot to report other than 6 Curlew and a distant Golden Plover calling. 1 Buzzard , 2 distant Raven and a few Meadow Pipits and Skylarks.
3 adult L B b Gulls, 1 Swallow and a House Martin all heading >N over the moor.
Also got a call from PGr who managed 2 Yellow Wagtails in the cow field off Long Lane at Southowram - they had gone when I got there. Nice record Pete.
