A Great Spotted Woodpecker was drumming down in Stoodley Clough and a Starling was giving a very passable immitation of a Song Thrush. Over in Strait Hey Willow Warblers (5) were singing away and there were Blackbirds aplenty. A a Roe Deer was grazing among the hawthorns:
3 Lesser Redpoll were a nice sight feeding in the hawthorns too, as I haven't seen them here before. They seem to extending their range locally as I've now seen them east and west of our house this year.
Curlews were up and singing, with 3 of them looking to be having a territorial dispute on Erringden:
At Swillington a pair of Wheatear gave good views and a Lapwing was another surprise as I haven't seen one here for several years.
