Pennine Way from Callis to Stoodley Pike this morning

4 Curlews up on Edge End Moor battling against the strong wind
Skylark singing on Edge End Moor
18 Wheatears on the fence by Lodge Hill - here are most of them
5 Reed Buntings on the telephone wire just above the Wheatears
a few Mipits around, but not many
4 Skylarks together just before Stoodley Pike

7 Swallows feeding at Lee Dam
Later this afternoon we had about 40 Mipits on the field wall behind the house, about 1/2 mile from Mankinholes.

I think that is unprecedented locally Jeff - and great to get a shot of most of them all together.
