We have seen two flocks of CURLEWS recently, one this morning (about 12) at Long Line/Limb Valley, and another very much larger flock at Bolsterstone just over a week ago. When living in Derbyshire the most we saw together were 3 or 4.
A few weeks ago I saw a KINGFISHER dart in and out the Porter Brook, close to Sheffield city centre. This was only the second kingfisher I have seen in my life! Unfortunately, Steve was looking in the wrong direction on both occasions.

That’s wonderful. I have also seen a big flock of Curlews this year. They are one of my favourite birds linking the Peak District with my holiday venue on the Norfolk Coast.
The Kingfisher must have been lovely. If you are at the Spider Bridge end of Effingham Road watch out because I have seen one there – another city centre site.
