Only a few days after my first chiffchaffs of the year, my first blackcaps! Three singing males around me on my local patch today. Also a kingfisher fly-by - didn't see it in time but heard the tell-tale whistle.

I’ve got my ears cocked for a blackcap but my target species this year is a gropper

A wonderful chaffinch today (well, several) but one bold as brass and came and hopped on our table less than a foot away from us. The bairn was delighted. Though he was soon even more delighted by a little ladybird especially when it was fluttering its wings. Sometimes even the most simple of sightings and among the best.

fetcheveryone.com/userprofile.php?id=103663 back to NYM Curlews. A little off where you were last week but I was running up by Cod Beck Reservoir this morning and there were Curlews calling from all directions and displaying above Near Moor.

I’ve seen or heard them three times in a week now, each time just a little bit east of Cod Beck. Of all the times I’ve run on the moors I can’t remember seeing or hearing one before but perhaps I’ve been blind to them! A quick search on the national parks website shows 2250 breeding pairs across the entire park for example. Though they’re old surveys from the turn of the century they’re not going to be far out. |

I’m certainly more used to seeing them on less frequent trips to the Dales (and when I used to live in West Yorkshire). I couldn’t see specific figures for there but did see that it’s one area of the country where the breeding figures are holding stable much more.
