Had a walk up to my old stomping ground at Cold Edge today, nothing out of the ordinary but a nice Sparrowhawk sat in a tree. Then met up with Andy and headed up on to the moors where we found 2 Ring Ouzels feeding on the rowans, also 1 Hen, 4 Buzzards, Kestrels, a possible gos but no scope so will have to let that one go, 2 Barn Owls and a Tawny Owl sat on a roadside fence.
