Blackstone Edge & Whiteholme

 I was due a blank at this site and today was the day 👍.


One Common Sandpiper ditto Wheatear at Blackstone along with 2 Pied Wagtail & A bunch of BHG.



This reservoir below Blackstone heading W looks juicy but I reckon could be a helluva traipse.


Whiteholme was poor; 1 Curlew and a juvenile Wheatear plus 3 Pied Wagtail only.

Completing the circuit back to the White House Inn coughed up 1 each of Raven & Kestrel. Also 4 Goldfinch and a 3/4 Meadow Pipit.


I did however break a famine of at least 3 years standing; a female/juvenile Merlin was seen perched on a rock on the way up 😜.


I rescued this Moth from my water butt this am. A friend said it may be a Muslin Moth.
