Today's walk for me was a short uphill affair, to a moortop called West Nab
(1640'), overlooking Meltham and Holmfirth in Yorkshire. My motive for such an amble was to position myself on high and look for Ospreys heading north (optimistic I know). I'll cut to the chase, no Ospreys seen, but a Ring Ouzel was a good sight. There were also plenty of 'moorpeeps' (Meadow Pipits), Red Grouse, a couple of Curlews and a decent pair of Wheatears. It was cold up here today, with a wind-chill I recorded of 0.9 degrees centigrade.
