Also had Cuckoo calling and for the benefit of everyone Broadhead Clough is Spring Wood, the area jeff and myself had planned on checking out,(you learn something new everyday).
I was up there the day before Jeff/Andy (it was very quiet) - I have never known it so quiet. This used to be one of our best spots for Redstart and Tree Pipit. I once had Red Squirrel there (1970's!) and Yellow Bunt's were a regular on the right just before you go into the woodland.
