Le Tour Yorkshire







With birding opportunities I headed off to Yorkshire to take in the stunning scenery and the Tour de France. We had an awesome time watching the racing and socialising. 

With stage 2 on the other side of the moor we opted to take the four mile walk over the top. As we headed through a wooded area at the bottom of the moor I found family of Wood Warblers which made the very steep climb easier to take. When on top of the moor Red Grouse could be heard all over along with breeding Curlews. As we cleared one of the gates a dozen or more Red Grouse poked their heads above the heather before taking off. 

Other birds observed was Lapwing, Carrian Crows, Chaffich and a Kestrel.
