Blackstone Whiteholme Then Who Knows

Won’t forget this yomp in a hurry I spent most of the day trying to find my way in and out of Mankinholes after the frustration of minimal birding forced me to wander afar.
Blackstone is best treat with the same attitude as Mixenden eeeewwww 😵‍💫.

Whiteholme - had 2 Crows mobbing a large brown long winged Harrier type. Only for 3/4 seconds it was flying away from Me into bright sunshine. The habitat spells Hen the size says f Marsh the decision is maybe/perhaps so it won’t get logged on Nerdtrack 🤣. Otherwise deadly quiet.

2 Curlew 3 Skylark 1 Wheatear ditto Kestrel pr Reed Bunting 1 Common Sandpiper several Meadow Pipit. 1 Pied Wagtail no hirundines and in the woods at Manky not a single migrant heard nor seen 😢.

At least this beer makes a refreshing change 🍻.
