Sun 17.02: late afternoon stroll from Binn Green along (almost drained) Yeoman Hey resr and back.
Very little to see or hear apart from shotgun blasts from the woods as some dumb creatures tried to kill some other dumb creatures Don't know why they bother with guns, the pheasants are tame enough to pick up - but I gues that's not so macho

Worthies from today's visit, 11:30-3pm, walk around Dove Stone Resr, Binn Green, the Left bank of Yeoman Hay and then the needless gut-buster to Chew Resr.
Yeoman Hay Resr: 1 Dipper, 3 Mallards Binn Green feeders: Usual tits and finches, plus pheasant pair and a female Great Spotted Woodpecker on the nuts showing well on several occasions.
F Siskin in conifers, on Left bank of Dove Stone resr.
Chew Resr: just a single F pheasant on the moorland, not a sausage on the resr. Probable Stonechat heard only.

This afternoon at dovestone : Mallard 24, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Blue Tit, Jackdaw, Pheasant, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Black-headed Gull 40, also three larger Gulls I lost my way with. I assumed at first all Lesser Black-backed but all were different shades of grey. The lightest (on the water so couldn't see legs) could have been Herring and one of the others looked like it had pink legs but to me didn't look large, or dark enough for Greater B/B. Should have taken my camera so I could check books at home , but I was on my bike!

Walk with my photographer friend to Pots and Pans and the war memorial down to Dove Stone Reservoir via Binn Green - freezing at the memorial, though clear enough to see Liverpool Anglican Cathedral!
Quiet on the bird front - a few Meadow Pipits up on the slopes.
Binn Green produced 1 Lesser Redpoll and many Goldfinch Chaffinch and Greenfinch plus multiple Coal Tits etc etc It wasn't to be for Brambling, but one day! No raptors and little else of note, but a nice day.

1:15pm today - Red Kite soaring over the valley to the left of the path leading to Chew Reservoir - about a quarter of a mile down the path coming from Dove Stone - got generous views before it headed over the ridge north, maybe the same bird spotted at Castleshaw by Mark Rigby later on - a lifer for me, very pleased. Still buzzing about that now, had no credit to text Ian glad Mark had a sighting too.
Also
Loads of Meadow Pipits, heard Stonechat - single female showing well on rocks near Chew Valley Buzzard - Road out of Dove Stone RSPB towards Greenfield Several large charms of Goldfinch 2 Separate Jays
