Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Some news from local birders is that a red kite was seen soaring on the southern slopes of Ingleborough during the week, I've been following the kites in North Yorkshire ever since their introduction to Harewood House years back and their steady progression west, we often had them over our old home in Harrogate. They have clearly missed me and followed :-)

They never quite make it up the Derwent Valley from Blaydon to my part of the moors. We see one or two occasionally, but the assumption is that they are being shot.

But they are known to spread quite slowly, so maybe that's the explanation.

An interesting map here. I occasionally now see on the North York Moors moreso towards Middlesbrough. The map kind of backs up they are still rare this far north-east though. But overall that's a raving success story across much of the country.
