Walked
from Widdop Road to Gorple Lower on Friday afternoon. Skylarks in brilliant
voice above about half way up the track. Only saw one but sounded like several.
Oystercatchers and 2 Greylag geese on Gorple lower as well as a pair of Mallard
and several Canada Geese. Lots of lapwings and several curlews.
On
electricity wire, on left (north) just past The ridge, there were several
hundred starlings . They dropped to the ground to feed intermittently and then
most flew up and did a mini mid-afternoon murmuration.
Previous
Sunday (25th). flock on about 100 lapwings in air above Gorple Lower.
Skylarks heard and seen that day too.
