Leeshaw Redshanks
                                 Over 14 Oystercatchers at Leeshaw
                                         Curlew in the morning dew
                 Fly Flatts Red Legged Partridge
                                       Meadow Pipit
        Few Wheatears but all distant views
                                         Redwings
                                   Lapwings pairing up
An icy cold WNW>5 and early showers kept things down a bit but Leeshaw was buzzing with common stuff both on and around the water.
Wheatears were showing at Fly Flatts and Withins Gap whilst BV reported 9 on Trough Lane.
A brief  sighting of a pair of Stonechat was a bonus thanks to Brian Vickers who,d had them a few days previous but they kept down in the moor due to the cold wind.

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.
