Barn Owl 2
Another post and update
Still only seen the one adult and this evening pretty much the same result as most other visits before dusk. Sits happily, nods off, scratches, looks round and sometimes is bothered to actually look at me.

Common Cuckoo
I decided to return the next day with my camera and was lucky enough to have it calling again but this time out in the open and flying from wire to wire.
It was good to get a new Moth for my life list with this day flying Mother Shipton.

Common Redstart
Mornings birding with Jeff to track down a couple of migrants not yet seen this year. The Goyt Valley was fairly quiet with 4 Pied Flycatcher and a quick song from a Redstart that we never saw or heard again. A quick stop at Danebower didn't produce a Ring Ouzel but we managed 4 Golden Plover nearby.
Back at Jeffs home we walked the reservoir where we eventually managed a female Common Redstart that showed well and right at the death we managed to find of the singing males. A Tree Pipit flew in to ensure the morning finished well.
