Female Common Scoter still on Blackstone Edge Resr at 3pm close into the dam above the Pennine Way. It spent a lot of time swimming with its head just under the water.

5+ Red Grouse calling from the moors around Light Hazzles and Warland Resrs. One bird was observed feeding on heather shoots.

15 Shelduck on Blackstone Edge Res'r this evening ( 3 adults and 12 juvs) - the most I've ever seen in Rochdale

Also a stonking male summer plumaged Grey Plover on White Holme Resr - was flushed by a Peregrine at 19:00 but unfortunately couldn't get it to fly into GM airspace! Also 2 Dunlin, 3 Ringed Plover and an Oystercatcher here - really need to get Rochdale to invade Calderdale to get White Holme into GM where it belongs!
