Making the Most of Moorlands: Update

More migrants on the moor.

Saturday 23rd April 2016


More migrants returning this morning. Saw my first Whinchat of the year and heard a Cuckoo (also a first for 2016) at Harrier Corner. Also enjoyed stunning views of the male Harrier and witnessed a mating (another first). Lovely start to the day! After a quick coffee I headed along the Tarras from Rashiel and added a male Redstart and Tree pipit to the list of arrivals.
