Wainstalls/Fly Flats/High Brown Knoll/Luddenden Dean

Lovely day for walking but pretty quiet bird-wise except for 34 Golden Plover along Wainstalls-Withens Road. 1 pair Stonechats at the gate to the sailing club. One drake Goosander on Fly Flats. c20 Red Grouse over the moor to High Brown Knoll. Another pair of Stonechats at Wainstalls just past the terrace houses on Castle Carr Road. Not one raptor today!

Also (as yet) an un-identified parrot flying free at the head of Luddenden Dean with Chaffinch/Greenfinch etc feeding under oak trees.
