Saturday 30th April a.m.
A chilly start with some sunshine and a temperature of 3°C on Harden Moor this morning where there were plenty
Willow Warbler around several in full song.It wasn't long before we heard the
Cuckoo and quickly getting our first sighting of the bird, we later got a good view of it in the sunshine and even managed a snap whilst we were using some trees for cover so it didn't spot us.There were two
Little Owls in there usual spot and a large fire lit by the workmen in the quarry near the
Sand Martin spot was a little concerning.We found the
Redpolls and watched them for a while as they came down to some old seed heads, elsewhere a couple of
Robins where having an argument,
Curlew flew over.A
Grey Heron flew just in front of us and a couple of
Linnets made an appearance and the morning was rounded off with a
Kestrel hunting in the distance.
