Recent sightings around the area

Quite a few notable reports this weekend on the grapevine, but none of them have made the blog. We are still getting literally hundreds of viewings every day, but very few posts. Please keep your posts coming - they are the only content on here, so the blog relies entirely on your input. Many thanks in advance.

This weekend:

- 3 separate lesser spotted woodpeckers in our area (locations withheld, as they are a sensitive species, and a rare breeder)
- 4 whimbrel and common sandpiper at Blackstone Edge
- Common buzzard in the south of the area
