Pleased to see at least one recently fledged Whinchat at Beeley Triangle yesterday. It's a very scarce breeding bird around Beeley Moor with breeding birds more likely to be encountered a little further north around Big Moor, but juveniles often pass through Beeley in the autumn. As far as I can recall this is the first confirmed locally bred bird since 2014.
Since first posting this blog Doug Aston has been in touch to let me know that a pair bred below Fallinge Edge in 2016 so maybe some pairs have been missed, which is quite likely.
