Ring Ouzel Pair
Common Sandpiper displaying pair by foot bridge
Lapwing and Curlew low numbers compared with former years the very dry conditions are probably not helping

I have wanted to get a record shot of a pied flycatcher this season and so it was helpful members of this forum that put me onto good places. I dipped at Strid Wood, Bolton Abbey a couple of weeks ago, so thought I would try Barbondale.
It is nice to report seeing a pair and obtaining my photo (several in fact although the quality wasn’t great.
Other birds seen were
Pied flycatcher
red grouse
pheasant
mallard
blue tit
long tailed tit
willow warbler
blackcap
wren
robin
blackbird
mistle thrush
nuthatch
great spotted woodpecker
chaffinch
