Three pair of Ring Ouzel are now on Soil Hill which must be a record for that location.
Yesterday I had 2 males and 3 females whilst today DJS had 3 males together making at least 3 pair up there. DP reported 2 females today along with 5 Wheatear then went on to get a Cuckoo at Luddenden Dean.NP , JL and DB also got on the Ouzels today. Thanks for the text from DP and DJS.
Otherwise quiet over Queensbury today but 1 hour gardening at Shelf Moor this evening saw an increasing number of Swallows over.
