    Amazing weather this morning for a out tour! Good set of migrants but amazingly we only heard a single pied flycatcher. This is the first time in my memory that haven't seen/heard multiple pied fly's. Tree pipits and redstarts showing well though. At least 4 cuckoo heard. Phil

    Hence my lack of reports from almost daily visits. But I still cannot believe the behaviour, absolute t****r. Irrespective of disclosing sites to actually climb through or over a wall is just plain wrong in my view and shows complete disregard for the farmer. BTW local number plate. I just hope...

    TonyTwinTwine When you say the Errwood car park is this the one just before the one way system starts and if so is the sandy track the new one built by the Forestry Commission? Many thanks. Phil

    30 crossbills in The Street car park this morning, some drinking from pool in tree trunk. Somehow we missed the bramblings, there at 10:00. Jon which side of the river? We went down the steep lane and walked along the river towards Whalley with no luck, also crossed to the churchyard. Cheers Phil

    Trip up the valley today from Errwood to the top produced little. Canada's, mallard and a cormorant on the reservoir. Very quiet from the woodland species, some tits calling was all. Near Derbyshire Bridge a pair of ravens flew over as did buzzard. At the top good views of a number of red...

    Had a trip up Goyt Valley today, fairly quiet on bird front, amazing colours of trees though. Well worth a visit. Then moved onto the Axe Edge road, after a diversion due to road closure, and had an extremely (for me) late wheatear. Could well have been a Greenland species. Made my day. Phil

    Had a couple of hours at the upper end of the valley last night. Wonderful views of SEO hunting and being mobbed by Curlew (and I'd not taken my camera). Good numbers of very visible Grouse on the moors, with many Meadow Pipits. No sign of the Ring Ouzels in the quarry, but Wheatear and many...
