Nice pics Ian. The red-necked grebe was still present when myself and Andy Young left at 10:30 this morning, with Craig still there.

Only thing to add to Bob's post sightings wise were the following

  • curlew in the field behind Point Wood
  • skylark - 2 singing birds
  • redpoll - at least 2 in Point Wood
  • reed bunting birds at each end of the res

on the walk back to Rawtenstall the following were noted at Greenfold

  • lapwing - 11
  • skylark - c8
  • stonechat - singing male with 2 females 
  • starling - c50

cheers Kevin
