Walk from Midgehole to crags and return, 0720-1030.
Good number Song Thrushes singing, plus Goldcrest, Chaffinch and a few Blackcaps (very vocal one showing around cottage at entrance).
Also, a Cuckoo called a couple of times from beyond the crags.
Highlight was what proved to be a Redstart singing opposite the crags - unfortunately I couldn't locate it (sun in the way not helping!) but it sounded quite close to the main path, just above the clearing with the log benches. Had to check the song when I got home, as it's not something I'm very familiar with, but I'm confident on ID.
Hope somebody has better luck seeing it!
