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.

Golden Plover Galore

Field full of Golden Plover

A quick check on Leeshaws, Upper Marsh field this pm after a report yesterday from DP & NP of several Golden Plovers showing proved worthwhile with and amazing count of 263 though as usual distant at the top end of the field.
Leeshaw held the usual sp. with no banking at all showing whilst Raggalds Flood was the opposite with no water and just 1 Pied Wagtail.
A check around Littlemoor Park briefly at midday for DSs Brambling proved fruitless.
