Family groups of Kestrel over Stronstrey Bank and Old Rachels.

Stonechat 14 in total, including families at White Coppice and Sams pasture and pairs at Great Hill farm and Limestone Clough.

Lesser Redpoll and Goldfinch 10 at Holts Flat.

Red Grouse 3. Meadow Pipit 10-15. Skylark. Reed Bunting. Raven 2. Peregrine. Buzzard 2. Curlew heard.
