Red-Throated Pipit - Ludworth Moor, Derbyshire


Another Successful Twitch, Red-Throated Pipit and what a bird, a stunning Summer Male,
We set of just after six picked up Dave's friend Archie and set off,  we arrived at Ludworth Moor, Derbyshire, and the bird was soon located and wasn't bothered by people at all, it flew of shortly afterwards, but Dave knew it would be back, we went for a walk round and on the way back we could see more and more birders crowding round, then Archie rang to say it was back, we had such good views of this bird, really is such a pretty bird and such a beautiful location so scenic, the bird was found originally by Local birder John Rayner doing a Wheatear count, all my thanks goes to him, what a find :)
A lovely day, and such fun banter with Dave and Archie.
The bird was defiantly worth jumping out of bed for and rushing round, because Dave decided to wake me only forty minutes before we had to leave the house lol
The whole weekend had been so special, i'm now on 202 species just amazing, and 194 for the year still can't believe Dave got me here so Quickly :)
