Ascended Black Hill in the Peak District with some old friends today. There were some interesting birds to be seen on the few occasions the rain ceased. At least 8 Kestrels hunted along the Pennine Way, and we caught a few glimpses of a big female Peregrine.
On the deck were plenty of Meadow Pipits, a Wheatear, hordes of juvenile Goldinches, and perhaps best of all, we disturbed a Red Grouse from the bleak peatland. There was also plenty of evidence of parties of Swifts filling up in preparation for their journey South.
