A good few hours at the quarry so far this Easter weekend. Spent some time scanning the valley from the compound mound towards Bowland in the hope of raptors to no avail in these sunny, but chilly conditions. The elusive Boilton Wood Lesser Spotted Woodpecker has been just that too (so far), despite a few hours trawling there on Good Friday. First site Wheatear of the year, 1st summer Med'Gull, a handful of Sand Martins, single Swallow, Blackcap and several LRP's about all I have to show for my efforts so far. Can we have some south-westerlies please?Above: Sunset over the Main Pool looking towards the M6 and one of the "Gang of Six" on the old sludge pit.
