Hi Nigel,

Welcome to the forum. There was already an Ashton Moss thread with 15 posts on it. It might be helpful if you could add your sightings to that thread. Unfortunately, it currently resides on page 4 as there haven't been any posts for two weeks. Most of my posts on that thread relate to the same location. Might see you around some time.

Gary
