Hi Dave

I walked around Grane this afternoon and missed quite a bit of this, but I can add the following

golden plover 2 flocks on Haslingden Moor 15 & 17
Canada goose 62 on Holden Wood
kestrel 1 at Deep Clough & 1 at Calf Hey
treecreeper 1 in mixed flock with minimum of 12 long tailed tits, 3 blue tit, 2 great tit, 4 coal tit & 3 goldcrest
stonechat 1m at Calf Hey
song thrush 1 at Clough Head
long tailed tit 12 at Clough Head

I managed to get a few shots of the golden plovers, taken in poor light, which can be seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/26821757@N02/sets/72157622487382707/

cheers Kevin
