No sign of the Shorelark again today up to midday.

Please also note that where the Shorelark was is apparently (wink.gif) private coal board land and we shouldn't be up there. Tresspassing is a crime you know, even after working hours when there's no one else about, no danger to yourselves and you're doing no harm. Please bear that in mindsmile.gif




Think that area has always been coal board land,and if im not mistaken used to be a beltin area for golden plover!i used to walk over that way quite often when i lived in west leigh used to go via the top of atherton and up to the area below plodder lane,used to be plenty of small birds up there ,yellowhammers,redpoll,skylark etcsmile.gif

During our fruitless Shore Lark twitch cos it had just flown off, we also saw:-

Kestrel
Buzzard
Magpie
Crow
Grey Heron

Reading the other posts, I now know some names of those who were with us! Even though we dont know who was who!

I think it's best if all sightings from Cutacre were now placed on this thread. Just as long as they're sightings

Add 2 Snipe to the list as well. Flushed from the grassy hill between the farm and the spoil heap where the Shorelark was in a desperate attempt to relocate it !
