RE: Black rocks - Disley


Think this is the nearest thread.

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
