Hello Rob

8 in Arkengarthdale near Shaw Farm and 10 to the west on Stonesdale Moor. All birds were very distant from the roads but good views through the telescope.

You will know both areas well as a former Muker resident. I went through there on my way south over Buttertubs to Hawes and beyond. Stunning countryside and beautiful weather.
