Dull start brightening mid am. Cold SE>4
A good trek around the moor this morning found it to be quiet with very little sign of moorland birds returning yet, not a Curlew to be found. Searched for Dave and Jens Snow Bunting but no joy.

I see from the calderdale blog there were 4 Whoopers at Ogden this morning - fancy you missing out after all that hard work this morning - bad luck Bri!
I had another look for the Snow Bunt this pm as well Bri - it must be well on its way.
This is the first week that Ive missed Ogden and just skirted around it, typical.
Wish someone on the grapevine had found them.
The problem with Snow Bunts at this time of year is they dont hang about very long unless they are over wintering birds like those in the BOG area.
