Good site, but I'm interested. Are sites publicising sitings of rare species not seen as potentially aiding egg collecters?
Its crazy that birds get all the best smutty names compared to other animals. Tits, boobies, cocks, woodcocks, shags, thrush, and the ring ouzel. Pretty much only rivaled by every species of beaver.
Also got a poor photo of a dragon fly of some description, any ideas what it's called? Adam?
Good knowledge Slackers. I'm pretty hot on birds, mammals, fish and reptiles, but poor on insects and plants/flowers must get a field guide to cover these. Any recommendations?
They're quite an easy group to get to grips with as there aren't that many, and most show clear differences in appearance and distribution
Have seen quite a few interesting things this year and would be interested to hear what others have seen lately. So here's a thread to post onto when you see any noteworthy wildlife whilst out at the crag. My top 4 this year so far are: A large male (at least Adam tells me it's a male) Adder at Curbar, taking in some rays beside the top path, a couple of weeks back. A flock of Bramblings about a month ago at Froggatt whilst all the snow was still down. A Barn Owl flying beside the road near Cratcliff on Saturday eve. A large flock of Curlews (have never seen them as a flock before) overhead at rivelin yesterday. Hit me with some nature.
I saw a large Adder at Curbar today
