Hardcastle Crags - am

A couple of hours there this morning from lower car park, past the mill to 'the fork' and back. It was more about what was not there, rather than what was (neither flycatcher, no redstart, no wood warbler, no cuckoo). However, there's time yet........ (it's deja vu isn't it?!)

Most common bird today was siskin. They were everywhere, and very vocal. NO idea of numbers, as the whole of the route they were just busying back and forth in the treetops
