Grasshopper Warblers can be heard giving their distinctive reeling songs from several points around Harewood Moor at the moment. Quite often heard, but seldom seen, the Grasshopper Warbler can remain hidden even in small areas of the damp grassland which it favours. I was very lucky today to disturb one which landed on a near by fence rather than dropping back in to the grass, it even gave a burst of song! There are perhaps half a dozen pairs around Harewood Moor but there could easily be more.
