More wheatear and ring ouzel sightings this week, right across the reserve now. Swallows and willow warblers have both returned over the last few days. A red kite drifted over the visitor centre yesterday (14th). Rough legged buzzard and long-eared owl have both been seen in the Gelt Valley today (15th). Our black grouse count this morning totalled 37 lekking male birds at a variety of sites.
