Friday 8th August a.m.
A sunny morning with a temperature of 14°C but a strong wind which tended to keep the birds down. A Grey Wagtail was checking out a puddle of water and there were several Willow Warblers flitting around. A juvenile Green Woodpecker made an appearance as did a juvenile Stonechat, also a few Butterflies were around.

Thursday 31st July a.m.
A walk along the fringe of the village below Harden Moor with a temperature of 14°C and some good sunny spells. Started off well with an Oystercatcher & Curlew, a bit further along a Red-legged Partridge was keeping a low profile with it's chicks. A Jay was making some noise as was a juvenile Green Woodpecker, a small puddle on the path was attracting birds for a drink, including a Siskin. Further along there were several birds including Willow Warblers with juveniles, Whitethroats, Coal Tit and a olive green bird which I got a couple of pictures of. After looking at them it turned out to be a Wood Warbler which is a lifer for me, plenty Butterflies to see as well.
