Northowram today

Plenty of Common Gulls about today along with 10 Mallards  and 25 Starlings. 12 Goldfinch , plenty of |Blackbirds along the tall hedge but the highlights were a Common Buzzard and a Woodcock flushed from the field edge.
 A walk round Fly Flatts produced 2 Red Grouse , 4 Carrion Crow and 20 Mallard.....and a male Peregrine over Pellon Lane.

Nice one with the Woodcock Andy.
A bird that I seldom see.

Yep great to see at this time of year..In the spring when they start displaying is the best time to see them..Castle Carr is a great spot for this..or Hardcastle crags car park................

Cragg Vale in the area of Broadhead Clough used to be a really good spot for them too but I haven't checked this site out for a long time. Must give it a go this year.
