Saturday 20th May a.m.
A bright morning with plenty sunshine and a temperature of 8°C as I started off on Harden Moor where it was good to hear a distant
Cuckoo and later a quick view in a nearby tree.Plenty warblers around including
Garden Warbler,Willow Warbler and
Whitethroat, others seen were
Rook,Little Owl,Stock Dove,Sand Martin and
Linnet.
I then moved on to Leeshaw Reservoir where it was good to meet B.V. who put me on to a couple of
Little Ringed Plovers.A
Cuckoo could be heard in the distance with
Redshanks,Oystercatchers and
Lapwings around.I had a walk up the steep track past the farm, a pause to look over the reservoir just in time to see a
Red Kite fly over in the distance. In the fields at the top of the hill it was good to see some
Golden Plover before going back down the hill.Others seen were
Curlew,Swallow ,Starling,Jay, Pied Wagtail,Cormorant and
Greylags with Goslings.
