Mudhurst Lane, Higher Disley, en-route from Macclesfield to Disley. Parked up for 15 min break near Rock Farm early afternoon.
- Ring Ouzel flying over the moor, over Mudhurst Lane and towards the trees down one of the hills and I lost it. Wasnt an adult male, it was more a browny colour with less standout neck crescent so either a female or young male? - 3 Ravens - 2 Stonechat - 2 Reed Bunting - Meadow Pipits chasing in pairs - few Lapwing flying around - Curlew heard close by but didnt see them

1 Wheatear in the autumn sunshine, flitting about the rocks ........surely my last acquaintance with this lovely bird until next year.....?
Otherwise quiet except for a female reeed bunting and fieldfares near the morside hotel.
