J2R Jun 2021 12:03pm, 20 Jun 2021 3,676 posts	Quote Pin J2R Arrived Friday night in the Derbyshire Dales for a week's holiday, same place as last year. Last year I hoped to see redstart but saw none, but yesterday morning took a short drive and saw several. Also wife saw dippers in stream where last year we saw none. Lots of grey wagtails too. Countryside looks stunning.

Derby Tup Jun 2021 2:32pm, 21 Jun 2021 50,671 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup I heard a couple of singing skylark yesterday evening plus a mass of common sand. The waders won’t be around much longer sadly
Yorkshire Pie Jun 2021 5:58pm, 21 Jun 2021 14,106 posts	Quote Pin Yorkshire Pie It's fledgling day in the garden. We were away at the weekend and now we're back we have baby blue tits, sparrows and blackbirds. Plus a pair of bullfinches - we've never spotted any of those in the garden before.
J2R Jun 2021 10:09pm, 21 Jun 2021 3,677 posts	Quote Pin J2R Willow warblers all over the place here. Heard more in the last couple of days than I'd heard all year before coming here. Also, mysterious bird sound today, sounded almost like a sedge warbler but was in a hawthorn tree in a dry limestone valley, nowhere near water. Any ideas?
flyingfinn Jun 2021 12:06pm, 22 Jun 2021 2,775 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn It could have been a Sedge J2R. They can breed 500m from water and be found in hedgerows. I've come across them in Hawthorn bushes before, though usually where there is some water close to hand. Is it possible there was something like a dew pond in the surrounding fields? Sometimes ones that are a bit overgrown are little wildlife oases in the white peak where surface water tends to drain away quickly.
Derby Tup Jun 2021 12:27pm, 22 Jun 2021 50,682 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup Hear hooves, think horses. Birds don’t read books or look at the RSPB website I’d think of ringed plover and dunlin as very much shore birds but they both breed, albeit in small number, around the upland reservoirs in our area
