Golden Plover returning to the moors

 A flock of 6 Golden Plover on fields at the edge of the moor this morning are the first I've seen since the snow moved of the birds that hung around up to Christmas. A very scarce breeding bird on Beeley and East Moor these birds will be eventually heading north, perhaps to the Dark Peak although we often have been around well in to April which suggests that they are heading much further north.
