The highlight was a flock of 90+ siskins exploding as one out of the birch and alder just above Callis Wood on the Pennine Way. Lots of them appeared to be juv's. There were probably many more, as other birds were calling from the trees, unseen.
Other sightings include:
- 2 raven right over the pike
- 5 wheatear and 5 mistle thrush on the wall below Lower Rough Head farm
- Nutchatch heard in the valley below that
- whitethroat in scrub on the railway tracks

Good do with the Siskin, Matt. There seem be an increasing number of sites around our area - Crimsworth Dean, H Crags, Cragg Vale, Ogden etc where they are around during the breeding season.
