A cloudy morning with a temperature of 14°C slowly warming up through the morning with some sunshine starting to appear late morning.
Harden Moor
I started off well seeing two
Little Owls in one of their usual spots, then where I saw one last year a male
Wheatear. There were eight
Sand Martins and I had a count of five
Willow Warblers.
