Sunday 10th April a.m.
After a keen frost it was -1°C when we arrive on Harden Moor with some of the distant hills covered in snow & lower ground shrouded in mist but we were in the sunshine.We first stopped to pick out two
Little Owls on top of a distant wall enjoying the early morning sun,there was a
Curlew nearby & a couple of
Pheasants.Further along we saw a male
Wheatear on top of the heather plenty
Mipits around as well.A
Green Woodpecker was yaffling which we managed to see in a distant tree.
Good to see ten
Sand Martins back at the quarry where we also saw two more Little Owls, we saw our first returning
Willow Warbler which was not keen on a snap taking.We also picked up our first
Redpoll of the year with others seen including
Blackbird,Pied Wagtail,Robin,Wren &
Song Thrush.
