Harden Moor

Sunday 23rd July a.m.
A sunny morning with a temperature of 13°C as I arrived on Harden Moor with expectations of a good morning.It proved to be hard work though with birds making brief appearances before disappearing back into the well overgrown shrubs and trees. Fortunately a good number of Whitethroats were around some of them juveniles and they kept me occupied in various spots as did a good number of butterflies flitting around.Other birds seen were Willow Warbler,Blackbird, Little Owl, Oystercatcher,Garden Warbler,Sand Martin,Swallow,Swift,Mistle Thrush and Robin.
