If you walk through the quarry works along concrete path from georges lane and then join the public footpath up the hill, the path passes between two quarries. The right hand one is not worked. There is a service road along the bottom. As the road ends Two ring ouzels seen on the slope to the left of the road and in bush on the slope. 6.45pm sunday 19.4.15. Dave Sulway

2 early on Thur 9/4/15 then yesterday a great show of at least 6 circling the farm and buildings great sight after the wet, wet winter. Then today they were busy feeding and resting on the wires in front of the farm. Also easy to see from track a busy male wren building a very posh nest in the main farm building, looks very impressive.

I've looked into this a bit over the last few days after seeing a single osprey on Friday fly in off the sea whilst on a spring seawatching trip in Cornwall. Saturday saw >70 birds reported independently of each other to rare bird alert alone, and that's only the reported ones!

Is it possible all these Ospreys sightings up on the moors are not the same bird, as last night one was also seen at white coppice? Its possible that one day that one could take up Summer residency on one of the reservoirs up there eventually. If not there are a lot of Ospreys about and passing through. :)

I had a walk round walker fold wood, holdens farm and burnt edge today. I saw a mixed flock which included blue tit, great tit, coal tit and goldfinch. Also a treecreeper showed well. At least 4 buzzards counted and a single kestrel. But the highlight was a very fast low flying hen harrier. It was quite dark brown but the white rump/ top part of the tail really stood out. Great to see even if it was fleeting.
Only Meadow Pipit seen today was as I got near the road at Walker Fold
