Lockdown day 3 - Return to the moor

I decided to cycle up to Beeley Moor today for my 'daily exercise', apart from a few dog walkers still driving up to exercise their dogs there was very little traffic and it was therefore quite peaceful.
The Curlew flock has now largely dispersed with several pairs establishing territories.

Still no Wheatear but I did have a superb male Merlin eating something, though I'm not sure what. It was distant and there was heat haze but still great to see.

Plenty of Chiffchaffs around and I've had a few reports of singing Blackcaps but haven't seen one myself yet but I did have my first Sand Martin at Rowsley on Monday.
