Hardcastle Craggs 11th May

Hardcastle Craggs early PM. The only birds of note were a Redstart singing in the clearing just past Gibson Mill and a Spotted Flycatcher. There was no site or sound of any Wood Warblers, Tree Pipits or Pied Flycatchers. This is very worrying as 5 or 6 years ago these species would be certain at this time of year.
Blake Dean - top Walshaw mid afternoon.Almost nothing, the only bird of note being a Ring Ouzel heard singing at Middle Walshaw.
