Bog Myrtle & Peat

As part of my attempts to find out more about the nesting curlews I discovered yesterday, I was out on the hill this morning just after 3am. A great deal more to come on these curlews, but couldn’t resist posting this very distant “record shot” photograph of one of the new blackcock which are making their presence felt on the Chayne. This is the first time I have managed to get a picture of a Chayne black grouse for several months, and if nothing else it allows me to confirm that he is a 2013 bird. More on him to come too.
