Castle Carr Road/Luddenden Dean

Castle Carr Road
I'm not sure but several fields near the far end of Castle Carr Road look as if these are the ones that have been re-seeded with local wildflower mix to help our local Twite - either way they were very productive this afternoon with 4 Twite there (including 2 colour ringed birds which were seen at Fly Flatts last week) and 20+ Linnet.

Also along the road;
4 Lapwings
2 Wheatear
1 Little Owl
2 Swallows
1 Skylark
c20 Meadow Pipits

Luddenden Dean
We went in the hope of Cuckoo and perhaps Redstart but without success!

Lots of Willow Warblers, 2 Blackcap and 1 Chiff-chaff

Just what I was thinking of today at Ogden Dave, walked along the top track where Redstart were once found and then listened for Cuckoo up the valley with same results as you.
