Luddenden Dean/Wainstalls

Yesterday afternoon a walk along Castle Carr Road produced Little Owl, Brown Hare and a pair of Stonechats with at least one fledged young. Curlews and Lapwings are still around on the breeding territories suggesting they have young around but none seen!

Luddenden Dean - drew a blank at the Redstart and Pied Flycatcher sites. No activity in the Pied Fly nest site suggests the young have fledged since my last visit. Still lots of suitable woodland in the same general area so they could still be about for a second brood???
