Over the years I think it's the fourth I've seen from the garden and it appears that when migrating north, rather than looking for a meal in the river, they seem to follow the edge of the valley rather than the centre over the river which probably gives them the benefit of some uplift.
I did another coordinated count today with Alan and Simon with further input from Roger and Ken. Between us we managed 70 species in the Darley Dale area, quite impressive with both migrant birds and us benefitting from the beautiful weather.
I also walked up to the moor this evening for my first roding Woodcock of the year.
