Thornhope Moor

Ethereal

Morning was very wet, but the afternoon promised to be better - and it was - the temp went up fifty per cent in five mins! Things are growing fast now, the bracken in the ghyl has shot up about a foot in a week.

 

It just shows what getting the sward right does, a lapwing has a brood of two on a newly cut section. A kite was loitering around, getting serious grief from a culrew and some lapwing, so it went elsewhere, leaving all in peace along with another new nesting pair of Redshank.
