Glovershaw
A glorious morning for birding and Glovershaw was at its best. A pair of Red Grouse sailed off into the mist whilst Snipe were belting round or calling from fence posts. A flock of 50 Golden Plovers occupied the damp fields near Golcar Farm and Lapwing protected their territory from marauding crows. Five Wheatears, three males and two females, rested in the sun at Birch Close Lane, Skylarks and Meadow Pipits were everywhere and the evocative call of Curlews drifted across the moorland.

Glovershaw
A Wheatear was feeding on the Golf Course and there was also a good number of pairs of Skylarks and Meadow Pipits. A flock of 40 Golden Plovers flew from a field by Golcar Farm where a pair of Curlew were feeding and Snipe could be heard from their nest site and one was calling from on top of a fence post.
