A few good Wheatear spots .

Soil Hill viewed from Syke Lane. Ogden

                                                 Ovenden Moor windfarm viewed from Ogden Lane.
                                    Withins Gap Farm viewed from Ogden.  Wheatear country.

Wheatears are now moving through the area and above are just 3 hotspots to see them.
Soil Hill on previous years has held up to 25 in one day at the peak of the movement.
Male and female are easily distinguished apart in the spring with the male in its amazing breeding plumage, but during the return journey from their breeding grounds in the autumn both sexes look alike. Autumn is the time to look for a long legged bruiser of a bird which may be a Greenland Wheatear.


All quiet around my neck of the woods today due to fog followed by torrential rain showers plus a bit of sleet. Lets hope it gets it over with before easter.
