Hi Kevin,

Regarding your first Wheatear of spring, I went to Ashworth Moor and Geoff was at plunge and we had no sightings, good spot and picture.

Reagards Brian.

Hi Kevin

Was around Grane yesterday morning so probably just missed you as well as the summer migrants! Only notable thing to add was a crossbill flying from Calf Hey car park area towards the western end

Andy
