Hardcastle Crags - 5:00pm

A walk from the bottom car park past the mill to 'the fork' and back.

- 4 spotted flycatcher (a pair at the first big clearing on the left, another pair at the fork)
- 11 goldcrest
- green and gs woodpecker
- 2 tawny owls calling
- 3 treecreeper
- roe deer
- tons of squirrels

So no redstart, no pied flycatcher, no wood warbler.

In fairness, it wasn't the best time of day to catch them, but all the other birds were singing like mad. A morning visit, including Crimsworth, might be more definitive, but I certainly can't do that until late June, by which time it's obviously too late.
