Snow in May and first grouse chicks seen.

Incredible but true- there was a dusting of snow on Monday 10th May, but it didn't stay long which was lucky for all the birds currently nesting and all the young chicks. There are plenty of lapwing chicks about (green plover) and the first grouse chicks were spotted this week. Would be nice to have a bit of warmer weather- let's hope that we do see the sun a bit more this year and have a proper summer!
