Not a bad day Brian, much better than Soil Hill which had only 12 Skylark, 4 Reed Bunts and the Mipits to mention. I was wonderin about Curlew too, I recall the date that breeding is classed as over for moorland species being July 15 but have seen them up at TM in early August one year.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

No Curlew on Midgley Moor now, gone early, washed out?
