A Goshawk flew over Fernilee Reservoir today. Met someone recently who thought he saw one a few weeks ago in the same area.
Had a walk up the valley today and managed to catch up with the bramblings below taxel layby <about20> and 5or6 crossbills in the place metioned in early posts ,above the street carpark and just past the forestery road feeding in a spruce tree best photo i could manage ,they are not easy tall trees and lots of foilage and a bright sky
Just stepped outside and the male Pied Fly is preening by the nestbox!! 3rd year running. Just need the female now. Time for a celebratory drink!!
