A brief stop off at Bull Beck produced:
Garden Warbler 2s, Blackcap, Willow Warbler. Common Sandpiper and plenty of Sand Martins active.
Then onto Roeburndale and a 3 hour circular walk around Outhwaite Wood. Beautiful as ever, song slightly subdued as the clouds rolled in. 43sp recorded here, highlights:
Blackcap 13s
Willow Warbler 10s
Chiffchaff 7s
Redstart 6s
Pied Fly 12s
Mistle Thrush 3s
Cuckoo 1 called briefly.Other highlights GSW 3, 1 drumming, Goosander 1 over, Nuthatch 3, Stock Dove 1pr, Sparrowhawk female.
Sadly no Green Woodpecker heard and Wood Warbler has faded away in last decade or so. Bluebells just about peaking at this higher altitude.

SteveForgot to mention nothing at on all the fence lines despite a flurry of migrant activity at the moment. Hopefully, the Stonechats are busy breeding out of sight.
Cheers
