Midgley feeding station

A minimum of 13 twite at the feeding station this morning though all very flighty, most birds were paired up and some song, song flight and courtship feeding seen. Spent another three hours or so covering the NE side of the moor but no luck with finding birds on territory, perhaps its still a bit soon? Several Stonechat, two Wheatears, at least 3 pairs of Curlew, a pair of Lapwing, Stock Dove, Reed Bunting etc were reward for effort though. Good for the Atlas.

Forgot to mention one bird was ringed Pink over blue/yellow and at least one other had a red site ring.
