First Curlews return to Beeley Moor

 It feels like winter is finally coming to an end when the first Curlews return to the moor. I had a nice group of 11 this morning very close to the B5057 from Screetham Lane. The first birds were on the 20th February so pretty much on time.

It will be well in to March before we start to see migrants that have crossed the English Channel but the moors will be a bit more spring like from now on with the calls of the Curlew in the background.
