Hey up folks, no chance of gettin' to Utch this a'noon so i thought i'd have a trawl round Upper Cheesedale and Croxden Quarry in search of the first local migrants. Once again no luck on the migrant front, i couldn't even muster one of the local Chiff's of the race Cheesedaleii in their usual spot along Sandy Lane. The best i could come up with was 6 Goosander(2 imm' males and four redheads) on the main lagoon at Croxden also on there were 2 LBBG's. Four Little Grebes were on Sandy Lane pool, this time last year there was around 12 present before they paired up and moved onto the assorted small pools that litter the quarry. Good numbers of Tufties around at the moment but sadly no sign of the 2 Scaup that have been at Brookers and Rocester. Now that would have been nice, Scaup on the old Poxey list.
Gettin' desperate now in my efforts to win worst photie of the year!!!! The top one is "The Sleepin' Giant" Croxden Quarry followed by Sandy Lane pool, Greatgate Wood and finally a nice bit of new clear fell that's got one particular resident of the Chase written all over it, ooooh errr!!!
That's all folks.
