Had a few hours out before work this morning, fledglings everywhere. Huge number of mipit must have just leapt in the last couple of days with plenty of carrion crow, rook, linnet & skylark. A single wheatear up the hill from Baitings reservoir being the highlight of these.
Elsewhere a Gropper was reeling between Scammonden and Dean Head, a sparrowhawk was giving the area a good going over and a hare was on the road above Dean Head.

Encouraging signs with lots of juvs about Jim - and especially the Wheatear. We seem to have lots of migrant Wheatears both spring and autumn but very few breeding birds in recent years.
