No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Still on Osprey watch

The view from Roper Lane towards Saddleworth Moor

Stoodley Pike from Roper Lane, Osprey flight path.

A strong SW>6 most of the day with early showers.
All quiet on the Osprey scene today going by a silence on the grapevine but they,ll still be more to come.
Perhaps the warmer weather threatened for tomorrow will cause a fall of migrants with a second wave of Wheatear. Common Sandpipers will be making an appearance any time now so watch those reservoir edges.
Is anyone still getting winter thrushes yet or have they gone?
