Sightings from this afternoon, 1 to 3pm at Burnt Edge:
A 3 hour walk round the area this morning, quite a breezy day. Nothing much else to add to the previous posting, saw 4 of the Spotted Flycatchers in the same area, a few Willow Warblers here and there but not great numbers, quite a few (sorry didn't count them ) Meadow Pipits up around 3 Lads and towards the Kennels, at least 4 different Kestrels around but more than likely 6 min.
Highlight of the walk was a covey of around 12 Grey Partridges on the lower path below Burnt Edge about 11.30.

Saturday 21st June
Mid morning walk with wife and camera, through Wilders Wood, where we had heard that crossbills had been seen in the past, and on up the moor.
In the wood, Chaffinch, song thrush, blackbird, crow, magpie, family of willow warblers, chiffchaff, 3 redpoll, 4 goldcrest, blue tit, coal tit, whitethroat and what I think may have been a grasshopper warbler. There was a short burst of song then it bounced about the bushes feeding and flew off.
On the moor
2 kestrel,one feeding on it's catch on a dry stone wall. 4 buzzards and innumerable meadow pipits. No wheatear though. 4 swallows feeding over the pond at Pike Cottage on our return.
A very pleasant walk and some good photographs.

A few hours along mast road with a saunter off towards Holdens plantation and Adam Hill.

Two Quail singing this morning in the area around the cattle grid just before the mast itself on Winter Hill (no vehicular access; park at the bottom of Mast Road and walk up). Both birds singing up to 07:10 but one at least on the Lancs Side of the border. No sight or sound of yesterday's bird by Adam Hill.

The Quail showed (of its own free will!) again at 5:55pm, 6:10pm and just after 9pm; the latter sighting taking place along the track to Holdens Plantation by the second cattle grid up Mast Road.
Info thanks to Andy Makin
If the bird does happen to still be present tomorrow, it goes without saying that no attempt(s) to flush the bird should made, nor tape lures used. Any such behaviour could unfortunately lead to all future Quail sightings (hearings!) from any county site being withheld from the forum.
