Hardcastle Crags etc.

Thick mist on the tops all afternoon in Crimsworth/Walshaw and Shackleton. Just 2 Nuthatch in the crags car park along with 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Jays and 1 Sparrowhawk at 3 pm just when the mist started to lift.
Apart from the usual tit flocks/Goldcrests and Treecreeper the only other birds of note was a Little Owl in Crimsworth Dean and a Tawny Owl singing mid afternoon in a small clump of trees at Shackleton Knoll - it must have thought it was night it was so dismal!!!! and 1 Meadow Pipit!
