Lots of Meadow pipits in the peaks currently, Ring Ouzel just starting to return as well
Dog walkers in general annoy me more and more, the majority seem to think signs saying dog on a lead doesn't apply to their dog as they aren't like that, then proceed to see said dog running in and out the vegetation and flushing everything
I had two White fronted Geese in the Trent valley today which were new for ones for me
Skylarks back over the peaks today, singing their mad bastard song. Such a happy sound. Few goldfinches in the hedgerow. Meadow pipits as well, I think, tho less certain about them as was trying to ID whilst cycling and almost crashed as a result.
Spent a lot of my ride being annoyed at cunt dog owners who seem to be incapable of reading all the many signs around the eastern moors saying “keeping your fucking dog on a lead, it’s nesting season for ground nesting birds”. Reckon about 1 in 20 was capable of basic comprehension.
