Brown hare sighting
Fly Agaric, Elliott Neep
Best of all though was the discovery of four Common Hawkers on the top pond.
It’s great news that hen harriers have returned to breed successfully in the Peak District for the first time in 3 years with 4 chicks fledging from their moorland nest.
Green Woodpecker is being heard regularly and a lone juvenile has been seen.
The morning period was given over to coverage of the SK21 transect for butterfly recording.
