Harden Moor

Saturday 4th April a.m.
 A chilly morning with a temperature of 5°C, the early morning sun soon turned into cloud cover with the wind strengthening. A walk round Harden Moor was good exercise seeing a few birds along the way with Chiffchaff, Green Woodpecker, Mipit, Skylarks, Dunnock, Jay, Bullfinch, Wren and Robin getting the ball rolling. Soon followed by a Curlew flying over as well as a Grey Heron, there were a few Pied Wagtails and Goldfinch, a Song Thrush was belting out a tune and in the distance Lapwings were displaying.
 The highlight for me though was a pair of Stonechats which were close enough for a couple of pictures, not had these at this site before.
