Pied Flycatchers - such stunning birds
Plenty of Pied Flycatcher action today. One of the target birds and they certainly didn't disappoint.
Redstart - one of Karen's favourites
Lots of spotted flycatchers
A few Wood Warblers singing, flitting in the tree tops. Managed a couple of fleeting glimpses. This was the most wanted bird for all the birders there today.

A lovely morning out for us at Padley Gorge in the Peak District. A place we love to visit. We arrived quite early and easily got parked. This place can get absolutely packed but with 99% of visitors staying around the grassy area near the stream, the Gorge itself has few people walking along it. There was just us and a few birders and fell runners early morning but as the sun got warmer, the bird activity diminished so we beat a retreat around noon. Couldn't believe the amount of people that were picnicking and paddling, recon there was half of Sheffield there ! A fabulous day out seeing all the target birds and meeting a few nice folk along the way.
